JimC There are many more ebuilds than just hal which fail with a

Sven Oh! Really? Which ones?
I didn't keep a list, but Ryan's post lists some packages I remember
having had problems.

It may be what upstream (pciutils) do by default, but no other distro ships
with compressed ids for the reasons you outline (and you can't mmap the
file).

Why did you provocate this breakage?
This is not a good idea, IMHO.
No. And many gave up getting this sensible again.
As is, the default USE flags for a desktop profile lead to a compilation
failure when unattended due to this, which is very very bad.
I'm not even complaining about that.
Why did you provocate this breakage?
Which breakage? It didn't install a gzipped pci.ids here.
That is with USE=hal. Crap...
Oh! So USE=hal forces pciutils not to use zlib?
And so the check, which the hal ebuild performs, should be modified to
check for USE=hal rather than for USE=!zlib ?

I think so, too. cf. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=166790
That has got to be one of the stupidest bug reports i've ever seen.
