I see your point. I actually used the logging because it was in the old monolithic build method. IIRC, this was done because build errors in the X tree can go well beyond the default screen/line cache, making it very difficult to diagnose build failures. I don't know if that is still the case. I can't find the original point at which the log was added, but here is one that explains why far after the fact.
