For an example of such a problem, see below:
werner@x13dai-t:~/.emacs.d/straight/repos/auctex$ make -j all
emacs --batch -q -no-site-file -no-init-file -l lpath.el -f
batch-byte-compile auctex-autoloads.el
emacs --batch -q -no-site-file -no-init-file -l lpath.el -f
batch-byte-compile lpath.el
Will use: /usr/local/bin/emacs
