Talked with joseph about this on IRC. He just verified a guess by us:

hal wants to install /etc/hotplug.d/20-hal.hotplug, if it doesn't exist already.
It just continues, if it exists. We're currently checking, if there is any
reliable (automatic) workaround, short of installing hal (and only hal) with
root permissions.

Quick workarounds to continue the build:

a) Simply create this file (empty, as root). Yes, nasty hack.

b) Install hal (from GARNOME) as root. For this workaround, cd hal, 'make build'
as user, make 'install' as root.

c) Install a more recent hal systemwide, that ships with that file (as provided
by your distro). hal 0.47 will work, not sure about older ones.
