SMS Server Tools has a status monitor that may be enabled by editing the Makefile and recompiling. The current ebuild does not have this option.

Created attachment 89695 [details, diff] patch to add debug and stats USE flags
Please see http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml for information about "splitdebug". Changing CFLAGS with USE="debug" is against policy, and as such I will not apply that change to the ebuild. Looking into the status monitor change.
before you decide whether strip debug info or not (FEATURES realm), you actually must have debug info incorporated in your binaries (compiler's realm). I don't see how *adding* CFLAGS like -g could be against Gentoo policy. The same technique is used by countless packages, whether if it was implemented by upstream (through --enable-debug) or by our devs.
This is in portage as -r3. Scott, thank you for your bug report. Alin, this was discussed in #gentoo-dev on IRC before replying to the bug.
