16 And, you should probably leave it that way. HAL is going away, so
17 there's no point in rebuilding X just to get HAL support now. You
18 should start by just rebuilding XDM and see if it's HAL requirement goes
19 away. You could also try a good revdep-rebuild, though I'm not sure HAL
20 is a link-time dependency that will get picked up that way.
