All logs go into $PORT_LOGDIR (usually /var/log/portage) if it is
defined. These are the full output of each emerge command, plus another
file containing the elog/ewarn/einfo/error output. The ELOG files contain
only the e-messages you specify and go in $PORT_LOGDIR/elog. So you
should be seeing logfiles in both if everything is working correctly.

Note that not all ebuilds output e-messages, so you won't get ELOG info
for every package you emerge.
