Ned Deily added the comment: It seems that there are a bunch of different ctags and ctags-like programs out there. I don't use ctags myself (nor the "make tags" build step) and I don't know how other programs use the tags file it produces so I don't really have an opinion one way or the other. All I can say is that, after a quick check on the two systems I'm most familiar with, each with a different version of ctags (GNU ctags on Debian and a version of BSD tags on OS X), for both the -t option is functional and the resulting tags files with and without the -t step in the Makefile recipe are different. It may be that the extra entries produced by the -t step are just redundant. So, without spending more time on this right now, I would be willing to apply a patch that ignores an error if -t is missing. Otherwise, if someone is certain there is no loss of functionality on our supported platforms by removing the -t step, they are welcome to apply the existing patch.
