Hi,

For a given file, the command

M-x semantic-debug-idle-function RET

will parse and setup databases for everything needed for a given file. 
There is a similar command:

M-x semantic-debug-idle-work-function RET

that will also handle all files in a directory of the same mode as the 
current file.

It will use GNU tags to find symbols in files not yet parsed by 
semantic, but when Emacs visits the symbol, the regular semantic parser 
takes over to get the extra details.

This is how to configure things to use GNU Global:

It doesn't disable the other tagging system, it just augments it for 
basic symbol search.
