If you use etags, and have an opinion, let me know. 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.
