Unsurprisingly it builds if I add "-Denable-synaptics="$(usex dell true false)"" to the ebuild. Could introduce a separate USE flag, not sure if that's useful to anyone. The error message was introduced by upstream commit https://github.com/hughsie/fwupd/commit/31f12579ff7ede6b1a0af36f0a4f9caadb1e4a9a, which added the "synaptics" flag and defaulted it to true. The flag controls the build of the "synapticsmst" plugin, which (according to its README) is only useful with specific MST hubs used in Dell systems and docks (and adds a delay in the "dell" plugin needed to make probing work correctly). I don't know if the synapticsmst plugin gets in the way on Dell systems that don't have the supported hardware.
