I finally (sigh) went back to this problem and now rebased your branch 
on top of master (see feature/etags_update_v2). And it actually compiles.

Also tried to add checking of file modification times (so that etags 
would skip input files where mtime was older than TAGS's mtime), but 
that doesn't seem to have any positive effect on performance in my 
benchmarking. Perhaps you could take a look at bb625ea36d sometime, see 
whether I missed something?

I'll post the update on the overall endeavor in a separate thread.
