What the other posters said, except that you shouldn't add "splitdebug" 
in your make.conf.  If you do that, it will affect all packages.

What you do instead is put this text into 
/etc/portage/env/sys-libs/glibc (yes, it must be a text file, not a 
directory):

CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -g"
CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS} -g"
FEATURES="${FEATURES} splitdebug"
