Here are some more details about my use case.

I currently have $GTAGSLIBPATH set to
/home/ludo/src/guile:/data/src/glibc:/data/src/gcc, which allows me to
jump to any symbol in these projects (using M-. in Emacs), even from
outside their source trees.  This is very handy.

However, what doesn’t work is symbol completion among all these (as used
by Anything in Emacs).  I’d like symbol completion to just work cross
all these.

Is there any other suggestion you would make?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
