You can give a try to my patch in bug #37491, I've updated it for
last portage pre-release, and making emerge a bit quiet was its
exact purpose.

Imho, this ones should not be shown to user. With my patch, such
messages could be changed from "einfo" to "veinfo", which looks
the same but only display in verbose output/log. Since they are
mostly in a few eclasses, that would not be to much work to make
this cleanup.

What I do is that if emerge is in quiet mode, and the user don't
uses PORT_LOGDIR, then there will still be a verbose log in ${T}.
And "die" messages point to this log. (see the 2nd screenshot in
the bug report)

With my patch, default behavior is still to be verbose, but if
"quiet" is in feature flags (or on command line options). And yes,
in all case, -v forces verbose mode.
