I installed global and tried it myself:
1) The first 'make gtags' run prints a rather confusing message (fixable)
$ make gtags
GEN gtags
global: GTAGS not found.
$
2) A second run indexes the _whole_ tree, including everything under
arch/. The point of the tags.sh script is that it indexes only files
relevant to the current architecture. If someone wants to index the
whole tree, they can run global directly.
