Oops. Thank you for pointing it out. BTW, just out of curiosity, do
you have etags on you Mac? Mine doesn't have etags. That's why I
missed the error.

Agreed.

That's hard to fix without some code duplication. We decided that
make_etags is not a symlink to make_ctags, rather execs make_ctags. Of
course we could let make_etags perform the same option check, but I
doubt it's worth the trouble.

Anyway, attached is the v3 patch.
