IMO, it only makes sense to add this to gdb/TAGS if the additional
tags get into the GDB binary.  The test suite does not satisfy this
requirement (unlike, say, portions of Emacs implemented in Lisp).

TAGS tables are used when you develop a package and need to quickly
find the implementation of certain functionalities of that package.
Anything that is not part of the package functionality should be on a
separate TAGS file.
