Which commands do you use to build AUCTeX?

I don't really have an idea yet what the problem could be.  The Makefile
in the doc subdirectory is supposed to generate the file
preview-dtxdoc.texi from the preview.dtx source file.  The former file
is then included in the main preview-latex.texi file.  It looks like
either the generation or the inclusion is not working in your case.
