Perhaps you're looking in the wrong logfile. elog(LOG) should definitely
produce output unless you're using very strange settings.
Another possibility is that the specific test case you're using doesn't
actually reach this function. I'm not totally sure, but I think that
SPGiST might not call the datatype-specific choose or picksplit functions
until it's got more than one index page's worth of data.

A couple thoughts here:
* From memory, the x and y values of a BOX are float8, so don't you want
to use %g or %f instead of %d?
* You don't want to end an elog with \n, that'll just add extra blank
lines to the log.
