Well, either a full log, or the tail of the log, as long as it contains
the actual command(s) that failed.  Sometimes it can help to search
backwards with less, or your favorite editor, for the string "error:",
or if there is no such string, searching for other problem indicators.

Also, copies of make.conf and src.conf are often essential in finding
the cause of the problem.  Many build issues are caused by erroneous
settings. :)
