blocke@kodiak blocke $ emerge --version
Portage 2.0.13
blocke@kodiak blocke $ ls -l /eclass-debug.log 
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        27190 Jul 11 23:43 /eclass-debug.log

That file needs to be served an eviction notice :P

I see it... Please look at debug-print() in ebuild.sh. I don't see how or why 
the log file ends up in /, it should go in $T and it does go there but a copy 
is in /! Wierdest thing is, it isn't caught by the sandbox. 
I'm really puzzled by this... any idea?

I can't reproduce it at will either, but once in a while /eclass-debug/log appears again. I'll try to catch it the next time.

Just confirming that this bug still exists, and is still annoying ;).

$emerge --version
Portage 2.0.22

drobbins told me why this happens: it turns out $T (=$WORKDIR/temp) isn't 
defined when emerge sources an ebuild oly for dep calculation. So piping > 
$T/eclass-debug.log put the file in /. 
 
I've fixed this in ebuild.sh in gentoo-src and it should be included in the 
next portage (2.0.27).

This is fixed in the latest portage versions.
