Please also make sure libusb-1.0.def is there. If not
MSVC build  will fail as well.

I did some further tests under other Linux distributions and
they seem to be okay. Unfortunately older Linux distributions
are usually not well supported to be used as a test bed (eg:
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS is not longer supported and I can not find
a repo mirror for the software, similarly for Debian 4).

So I manged only to test Ubuntu 8.04 LTS as the oldest distro
for the tests. It is fine under 8.04LTS but there is a warning. The
warning about xusb.c seems to be valid. Maybe you want to
add a new line at the end of xusb.c.
