Does gtags/global support a shadow source tree?

My experience with global version 4.5 is that it does not.
I could not find anything in the documentation or FAQ, but
Shigio Yamaguchi seems to be saying it should work in
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/help-global/2000-12/msg00003.html

Specifically, if I have:

  /usr/local/src/dir/file
  and /usr/local/root/dir/file -> ../../src/dir/file

And I run:

  cd /usr/local/root
  gtags
  global

should global be generating tags for "file"?

When I run "global -f dir/file" it reports it is
"out of source tree".  When I run "global -P"
then "file" is not listed.
