Here are the lines from Local.rules:
  # Should we build the mule package?  Set to 't' if you do not have/want Mule.
  #
  BUILD_WITHOUT_MULE = t
But I guess that 'batch-update-directory .' searches for all .el files
in the current directory.

 We have had this problem in the past and the Makefile contains some
 magic to deal with this:
 
   ifeq ($(BUILD_WITHOUT_MULE),)
   ELCS += tex-jp.elc
   endif
 
 
 What value do you set BUILD_WITHOUT_MULE to in your Local.rules?
