Calvin -- somebody, you, pawel, or somebody else smart on building hal needs to update it again. I see that 0.5.14-9 was released yesterday, but it still has a udev dependency. With the update yesterday - udev was removed due to its merge upstream with systemd-tools. A work around is to create a symlink in /usr/lib for libudev.so.0 (there was a soname bump to .1 with the systemd-tools update)
TDE starts without hal rebuild with the symlink, but that is not a fix. Let me know if one of you guys can do this. I haven't ever messed with the guts of hal, so I would be reinventing the wheel.
Did you try building with the new Trinity hardware devices support?
