Definitely do not want them on their own line; instead something like
OUT:make:1000: ...
ERR:gcc:1001: ...
ERR:gcc:1001: ...
ERR:gcc:1001: ...
ERR:gcc:1001: ...
ERR:make:1000: *** [...] Error 1
ERR:make:1000: make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
If you then grep the last non-make and non-portage STDERR, you simply
get just the gcc lines you actually want. From there you can grep the
lines around it for context.
You could then have a tool that tells you something like
...
=== ERROR at build.log:123 ===
...
...
...
...
=== /ERROR at build.log:123 ===
*** [...] Error 1
make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
and that allows you to immediately see the error right away;
additionally, it shows a few lines of context before and after. If you
need more context, the line number allows you to jump right to it in
the build.log if you need even more context.
We could even build this feature into Bugzilla...
