Narrow meaning: "builtin" means built into the C core -- ie written in C. You will see this usage if you ask help on the function car or + The looser broader meaning is: anything that comes with emacs. If the OP meant the looser meaning then emacs23-el should (mostly) suffice If the narrower then he will probably need to compile emacs for himself. In any case etags-tagging is not necessary and if you do it it will be a big pain to interface it with the emacs describe-fucntion etc help system
