It's also not recorded after the run, so that the next run could
compare against it.

Make doesn't support incremental builds, except on file granularity.
Doing that with etags would be easy, but you say that is not the
"incremental" tagging you had in mind, you want the granularity to be
below file, i.e. on tag level.  For that, a single time stamp of the
TAGS file is insufficient, because all it can tell you is which files
need to be re-tagged, whereas you want to know that on a per-tag
basis.
