The hdrtag program can create shorter tags files from system includes:

hdrtag -rs /usr/include

These tags files are intended for "system" files (ie. ones that seldom
change); that's because ctags normally includes searchable strings, but
with the -s flag hdrtag simply includes a line number. You can get
hdrtag from

http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/src/index.html#HDRTAG

On a Centos 5.2 o/s, my ctags is 20,398,390 bytes long, and that's
including tags for matlab as well as /usr/include.

It may be that exuberant ctags also can do this; its certainly an easy
thing to do given all else it does.
