If you have PORT_LOGDIR set in /etc/make.conf then the output of emerge 
including all messages is getting logged for every package.

Since a lot of output is generated for big packages like glibc (15MB), 
openoffice (18MB), etc. it makes sense to compress the logs and delete them 
after, say, a month (from cron). After bzipping the logs the size of the 
logdir reduced from 90MB to only 5MB.


Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Renat
