I don't think we need to go that far.  Simply adding "cd $(srcdir) &&"
to the TAGS rules that don't already do that should be good enough.

Alternatively, you could do just "make -C gdb TAGS".  After all, we
don't necessarily need to fix the entire repository, only the parts
that are under our responsibility.  Perhaps this is the best
alternative, on balance.

WDYT?
