You don't need hgcompile.  It was a tentative solution for that broken
tarball.

The reason is that you are passing wrong configure options.

With --with-card-options, you have to give _all_ necessary options.
When once this option is passed, it resets the all once.
In the case of hda-intel, the following options should be passed in
addition appropriately: hda-hwdep, hda-codec-realtek,
hda-codec-analog, hda-codec-sigmatel, hda-codec-via,
hda-codec-atihdmi, hda-codec-conexant, hda-codec-cmedia,
hda-codec-si3054, hda-generic.
Yeah, there are lots of them.  So, simply stop passing
--with-card-options=... if you are not sure what you're doing :)
Then all options are enabled as default.
