The problem is in lib-src/etags.c's function absolute_filename.  If
HAVE_MEMMOVE is not #defined, it uses strcpy to try to squeeze out
unnecessary '/./' sequences from the path name. However, strcpy behaves
unpredictably when the source and destination overlap.

The question to resolve is, why is HAVE_MEMMOVE not being #defined when
this package is built by ubuntu?  A properly configured 23.2 build from
source gives me a working etags.
