It has savannah git repository:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/auctex.git
Unfortunately, it doesn't on github.

The literally same commands succeed here as well on xterm.  However,
after modifying seemingly to coordinate the actual preview-latex
commands, the latter fails.

(1) Add prv_primárias.ini argument to creat .fmt file.
etex -ini -interaction=nonstopmode -jobname prv_prim\árias "&pdflatex" 
prv_primárias.ini 
"\nonstopmode\nofiles\PassOptionsToPackage{active,tightpage,auctex}{preview}\AtBeginDocument{\ifx\ifPreview\undefined\RequirePackage[displaymath,floats,graphics,textmath,sections,footnotes]{preview}[2004/11/05]\fi}"
 "\input" "\detokenize{primárias.tex}"
-> No error
pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode \&prv_prim\árias "\input{" "\detokenize{" 
prim\árias.tex "}" "}"
-> error

(2) Add \dump furthermore.
etex -ini -interaction=nonstopmode -jobname prv_prim\árias "&pdflatex" 
prv_primárias.ini 
"\nonstopmode\nofiles\PassOptionsToPackage{active,tightpage,auctex}{preview}\AtBeginDocument{\ifx\ifPreview\undefined\RequirePackage[displaymath,floats,graphics,textmath,sections,footnotes]{preview}[2004/11/05]\fi}\dump"
 "\input" "\detokenize{primárias.tex}"
-> No error
pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode \&prv_prim\árias "\input{" "\detokenize{" 
prim\árias.tex "}" "}"
-> No error, but doesn't do its expected job

> I will be busy for today,

I'm sorry to have bothered you many times.  I deeply appreciate your
kindness so far!
Perhaps I should give up this particular case (non-ascii file name +
preview-latex preamble cache) and commit the patch which fixes other
issues.

Best regards,
