If any tex/sty file belonging to your document (either directly or in
terms of \usepackage etc.) has been modified, AUCTeX will suggest you to
run LaTeX on your document.  If not but some bib file used by your
document has been modified, it suggests you run BibTeX or Biber.  Same
for index files.  Only if nothing has been modified and thus your
PDF/DVI file is current, it'll suggest to run the View command.
