How about doing like this?

% cd /home/gilles/YYY
% cp -r /usr/local/XXX .
% gtags

If you want not to have a copy of /usr/local/XXX then you can make
a shadow tree of it using symbolic link.

To do it, following tools are available:

o lndir in X project.
o mkshadow in GNU sh-tool.
o mkshadow in pathconvert package (http://www.tamacom.com/pathconvert/)
