Correct, but there is a solution. Enable logging and look only at the "small second logs". Here is what I mean. The last three lines in my /var/log/portage are

version 9.7e replaced 9.7d-r2. But note the second smaller log for 9.7e. It contained
.[33;01m*.[0m If you do not etc-update now and update /etc/ssl/misc/der_chop to the new version, your .[33;01m*.[0m system IS VULNERABLE to a symlink attack as described in bug 68407 .[33;01m*.[0m refer to http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68407 if you have any doubts
(The funny chars are the control chars to make this appear yellow (?) when output to your screen.) This is likely the message you want to read but may well have scrolled off your screen.
The 365K log is the usual boring stuff. :-) So emerge has thoughtfully separated out the important part.
The only effort needed to get these logs is to add
PORT_LOGDIR=/var/log/portage
to /etc/make.conf.
Thanks. Now, if only someone would make emerge show you ONLY those small logs automatically.
You can make portage a tad more silent by putting '-s' in the MAKEOPTS variable of /etc/make.conf
It wont be completely silent but make will only show warnings and errors instead of the whole commandline for each compiled file... at least something...
