Correct, NUT is only designed to work with the libusb-0.1 API  
(provided by libusb-compat).

How did you install libusb-1.0? It appears that the actual .so file  
was not installed properly:

configure:7259: checking for libusb version via pkg-config
configure:7278: result: 0.1.12 found
configure:7281: checking for libusb cflags
configure:7298: result: -I/mnt/ARM_FS/include
configure:7301: checking for libusb ldflags
configure:7318: result: -L/mnt/ARM_FS/lib -lusb
configure:7323: checking for usb.h
configure:7323: arm-mv5sft-linux-gnueabi-gcc -c -I/mnt/ARM_FS/ 
include    conftest.c >&5
configure:7323: $? = 0
configure:7323: result: yes
configure:7338: checking for usb_init
configure:7338: arm-mv5sft-linux-gnueabi-gcc -o conftest -I/mnt/ARM_FS/ 
include     conftest.c -L/mnt/ARM_FS/lib -lusb   >&5
/root/uboot_NAS/cross/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-mv5sft-linux-gnueabi/ 
4.3.2/../../../../arm-mv5sft-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld: warning:  
libusb-1.0.so.0, needed by /mnt/ARM_FS/lib/libusb.so, not found (try  
using -rpath or -rpath-link)
/mnt/ARM_FS/lib/libusb.so: undefined reference to `libusb_clear_halt'
/mnt/ARM_FS/lib/libusb.so: undefined reference to

/mnt/ARM_FS/lib/libusb.so: undefined reference to `libusb_close'
/mnt/ARM_FS/lib/libusb.so: undefined reference to `libusb_unref_device'
[...]

The libusb-1.0.so.0 file should be in the same directory as libusb.so,  
meaning that -rpath* options shouldn't be necessary. But if there is  
something special about the way libusb was installed (packaging, etc.)  
then you might need to fiddle with those options.
