Yeah, it's an ugly hack in the tags generator code, I think you had 
pointed to that exact spot when someone asked about the pre-processor 
option (where it strips out G_BEGIN/END_DECLS) because the c.c parser 
for whatever reason can't handle it.  It's described in the FIXME 
comment here[1].

Immediate solution would be to use the return value from system() (duh!) 
and the right solutions is to conjure up the demons of hell and beg them 
to apply some sort of ritualistic voodoo magic to enchant the c.c file 
to do it right (since I don't think anyone understands it)  :)
