Well, I had some severe problems the last days with X, glibc and others (nptl
related, big downgrade and recompile time, wohooo plus a mulish X emerge,
dying again and again). And this 'garbage' becomes realy useful, if you want
to circumvent (or simply find!) the error that is holding you back for hours.
You're just underlining the point here. The garbage only becomes useful
in exceptional situation thus it need not be shown in typical
compilations but might be available elsewhere whenever needed. The
reasoning behind showing much carbage on every compilation is that only
devs and experts would ever compile their own products. It is obvious
that such a mechanism has not been developed with gentoo-like solution
in mind.
