most likely you didn't define PORTAGE_LOGDIR in your make.conf and it's
empty by default (check with `portageq envvar PORTAGE_LOGDIR`).

[gentoo-user] Feature "split-log" in Portage variable "FEATURES"

[Dr Rainer Woitok]

Greetings,

skimming through "man make.conf"  looking for something else  I stumbled
upon

  split-log
 Store  build   logs   in   category   subdirectories   of
 PORTAGE_LOGDIR/build, instead of using PORTAGE_LOGDIR di‐
 rectly.

and I decided  to give it a try.   After adding "split-log"  to variable
"FEATURES" in file "make.conf" I updated a single small package, but the
build log did not turn up anywhere,  even though file  "/var/log/emerge.
log" contained a new entry telling me  the package has been successfully
updated.

What am I missing?

Sincerely,
  Rainer
