I need to unmask in order to get rid of the HAL > dependency. To see that, put "-hal" in your make.conf, and check your package.use too to make sure there's no "hal" enabling in there. Then unmerge the hal package and do an "emerge -aDNt --with-bdeps=y world". If something pulls hal back in, it's gonna show due to the "t" option of emerge. Hope that helps.
