OK. I've never scripted configure but I will give it a shot. From a brief reading, it looks like I need to modify configure.ac.

You are correct that the argument applies to etags as well. I have never used etags but my understanding was that it was used along with xref (which I could be totally wrong about). I haven't used xref either. If emacs doesn't need etags internally, then I don't mind an option to prevent its build too.
