libusb has special c++ bindings (yuk) in usbcpp.cpp. However when building for
an embedded/c++ less system this causes failures and what not.

Ideally the configure script should check for c++ support and then simply not
build c++ bindings if we don't need them anyway, based on the nocxx flag.

An intermediate solution would be to require/depend on the nocxx flag to be
unset. Filing bug upstream aswell.

Reproducible: Always

I've added liquidx to the cc list as he's mentioned as a co-maintainer of
libusb in the metadata...  5:)

please include a patch for the configure stuff that you want changed.

The "failures and what not" are some assembler errors about "unknown psuedo-op:
.weakref". I have found upgrading binutils from 2.16.1-r3 to 2.17 corrects the
issue.

Resolved in -r3.
