Of course I am referring t compiling from within Emacs with that
variable TeX-output-dir set to "build"
As I said in my first email I can compile it either from the command
line or with TeX-output-dir set to nil without any problem

Returns "build" in both cases

I tried everything out
but I always get
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Running `BibTeX' on `test-bib' with ``bibtex build/test-bib.aux''
This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (TeX Live 2023/Debian)
The top-level auxiliary file: build/test-bib.aux
The style file: biblatex.bst
I couldn't open database file test.bib
---line 6 of file build/test-bib.aux
: \bibdata{test-bib-blx,test
: }
I'm skipping whatever remains of this command
Database file #1: test-bib-blx.bib
Warning--I didn't find a database entry for
"nordstrom13:_zur_theor_gravit_stand_relat"
Biblatex version: 3.19
(There was 1 error message)
TeX Output exited abnormally with code 2 at Tue Dec 30 16:12:36
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
May I ask: did you try out out my 2 MWE with TeX-output-dir set to
"build"?
Did it work out for you?
