SOLVED - Automake is a mess and it will get worse! For hal on arch, you must
update your build() to:

build() {

  cd $srcdir
  patch -Np1 -d ${srcdir} < hal.patch

  cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}"
  patch -Np1 -i "${srcdir}/hal-libudev-events.patch"
  patch -Np1 -i "${srcdir}/hal-glib-2.3-compile-fix.patch"
  patch -Np1 -i "${srcdir}/udev-update.patch"
  patch -Np1 -i "${srcdir}/badvok-compile-fix.patch"

  # fix trialing space
  sed -i 's/failed; [\] /failed; \\/' policy/Makefile.am

  # fix subdir-objects mess in automake 1.14
  sed -i 's/AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE[(]\[gnu
1.9\][)]/AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([subdir-objects])/' configure.in

  libtoolize --force
  aclocal
  autoupdate   # required to fix obsolete macros
  autoconf
  automake --add-missing --warnings=all

  ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var \
      --libexecdir=/usr/lib/hal --with-udev-prefix=/etc \
      --enable-static=no --disable-acpi-ibm \
      --disable-docbook-docs --disable-console-kit \
      --disable-policy-kit --disable-acl-management \
      --enable-umount-helper --disable-smbios \
      --with-hal-user=hal --with-hal-group=hal \
      --with-pid-file=/var/run/hald.pid \
      --sbindir=/usr/bin --disable-gtk-doc
  make

}

  But in the end:

hal-0.5.14-18-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

complete with systemd hal.service file
