today, after regular syncing and running emerge -avuDN world, I got this error: >>> Emerging (1 of 2) sys-apps/hal-0.5.9-r1 to / * hal-0.5.9.tar.gz RMD160 ;-) ...

You MUST build sys-apps/pciutils without the zlib USE flag however, looking at /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/*/make.defaults I see that "zlib" is in USE nearly for all architectures "hal" is in USE for desktop profiles so, the default install, at least using "desktop"[*], seems to be b0rken ... if the policy that the system should be installable without plaing with /etc/portage/package.* is still valid [*] however there are some apps that depend on hal unconditionally, e.g. gnome-mount Reproducible: Always

You can join the 'phun' on bug 166790; sorry about this, not a hal maintainer's fault.
