I didn't know this was specific to GNU make. Unfortunately etags does not
take an option to update the tags for selected files (though ctags does), so
we cannot use $?. Well, may be we can. How about using $? and etags with -a
(append) option. Developers can always run make clean-tags and then make
tags, if they want tags re-generated.
