That's sort of backward, isn't it?

Why not tag first, then build on the tag? That *completely*
eliminates the possibility of the tag and branch being out
of synchronization.

I'm sure the chance of the automated build working copy
being changed between the make and the tag, but why take a
chance?

Uncertainty in automated build processes is undesirable.

i.e.

svn cp URL_TO_PROJ/trunk URL_TO_PROJ/tags/PROJ_X_Y
svn export URL_TO_PROJ/tags/PROJ_X_Y
make

P.S. It's often a good build from source controlled and
      exported tool sets as well, and checking back in
      compilation targets to the same tag is also a big
      win in most situations.
