After emerging dev-libs/libusb-0.1.12, the problem was gone. Missing dependency?
Looks more like you had some broken dependencies that were fixed by chance this way. The symbols it complains about belong to sys-libs/libieee1284, not to libusb. I guess a revdep-rebuild could have fixed this. Please retry with the old libusb version to make sure it is a version problem (which I doubt).
No reaction - please re-open if necessary.
