The pkgconf header files are generated by the various configuration
tools prior to the build. In other words there should already be an
install/include/pkgconf subdirectory before the makefile is generated,
and hal.h should be present there. Doing at the command line:

  ~ 334 > mkdir pkgobj
  ~ 335 > cd pkgobj
  ~/pkgobj 336 > ecosconfig new pid
  ~/pkgobj 337 > ecosconfig tree
  ~/pkgobj 339 > ls install/include/pkgconf/
  error.h  hal.h	hal_arm.h  hal_arm_pid.h  infra.h  io.h  io_serial.h
  io_serial_arm_pid.h  kernel.h  libc.h  libm.h  system.h  wallclock.h

I cannot think of any good reason why the common hal configuration
header would not be generated, and do not remember any previous
problem reports of this nature. Possibly something is getting confused
about where the build and install trees are.
