MinGW make considers the TAGS and tags targets to refer to
the same file:

 Makefile: warning: overriding commands for target `TAGS'
 Makefile: warning: ignoring old commands for target `TAGS'

Suppress both targets on that platform.

Wouldn't it be more sensible to rename them (like ETAGS/CTAGS) on
mingw instead, in case someone wants to use these files on windows?

Well, anyway, it doesn't harm much to remove them, they're just
convenience targets to be used by text editors, not by the build
system itself.
