Perhaps the CTags bundle will be of use to you: http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Bundles/CTags.tmbundle/

For install instructions see http://macromates.com/textmate/manual/bundles#getting_more_bundles

There is a Makefile bundle, it does this, but it is *very* rudimentary  
(I wrote the build command, but I rarely ever work with Makefiles, so  
I didn’t spend much time prettying up the output).

See above for how to get it.

You can’t add stuff to the context menu, but it is on ⌘B, though  
only for Makefiles. If you go to the build command you can change the  
scope selector to be more broad (i.e. be all your C files by  
specifying source.c).
