I've added ifd-gempc-1.0.0.ebuild. Please see if this "cures" you otherwise we may need to look to the ifd-gempc for help. Also consider upgrading libusb? what version do you have? Did you notice any compile errors/warnings with ifd-gempc?
as per previous comment I need information to solve this bug. You'd probably get better help from upstream authors. I'll change anything to make it work for you (provided it doesn't break everything) I just need to know how.
