Relevant bit of build.log:

make -j8 -l8
Package libnotify was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libnotify.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libnotify' found

From the changelog:

dunstify notification client is now installed by default (#701)


So, probably need to call `emake dunst` rather than just `emake` now when USE=-dunstify is set.
