There is no tags file stored, the output of ctags is filtered and stored
in types.vim. Thus the result is a Vim script with syntax commands.

The correct command actually is in src/Makefile:
ctags --c-kinds=gstu -o- *.[ch] |\
awk 'BEGIN{printf("syntax keyword Type\t")}\
{printf("%s ", $$1)}END{print ""}' > $@
I'll correct the help file.
An exercise for the reader: rewrite the awk commands in Vim script.
