Comment(by michaelld@…):

 GNU Radio is what I was working on when I hit this issue; there are a few
 other ports that use the libusb-legacy library but I don't know if anyone
 has tried them with the 'compat' version.  In GNU Radio there is a
 configure option to use libusb-1.0, but the 'compat' version won't work
 because we (those of who wrote the USB interfaces; our bad) used LIBUSB
 internals that are in the 'legacy' library but are not part of the
 'compat' library.  So, I try to use the 'libusb-legacy' version, but
 another library is located in ${prefix}/lib and hence Autotools is linking
 the 'compat' library instead.  Thus IMHO the need to rename -some- library
 -- I guess I'd propose the legacy one since it's already in a different
 location than expected.  It's really not difficult to patch the code to do
 this.
