I just pasted the output of what ggtags.el would run inside GNU Emacs. I simply
ran those
in command line to see why it was happening. And reported.

Good enough. Though It might not help everybody, but just me.

Right now, what ggtags does is find all references and visit the location of the
first reference returned by global. This would be what most editors (or IDEs)
would do.
Because checking for '--nearness' with some file and then doing '--frome-here'
if --nearness fails would be twice as slow, especially for very large codebase.
The simpler one what IDEs would benefit shall be, list the matches from the
same file
first. Then the rest (when --from-here is given).
Hope you can understand.
Thanks
