qlop

A utility (from the q applets) for extracting information about emerged ebuilds from Portage log files (/var/log/emerge.log), written in C. It can be useful when package compilation times need to be estimated or to compare build times with other systems. It also allows to check what is compiling at the moment and how long it will probably take - which is handy when working in the console and don't have any other means to check it.
