Here is my previous message (on address@hidden) :

Yep, it works. Thanks.

I just have another idea :

% cd /home/gilles/XXX
% mkdir /tmp/YYY
% (cd /usr/local/YYY; gtags /tmp/YYY)
% setenv GTAGSLIBPATH /tmp/YYY
% global something_in_YYY
 ../../../tmp/YYY/something.h

But if something_in_YYY is found also in /home/gilles/XXX/GTAGS, the
../../../tmp/YYY/... does not appear in the output.

It would be nice to have an option to consider different G* files, and
 use all of them.
