OK. I tried commands below:
# export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/mnt/ARM_FS/lib/pkgconfig
> ./configure --with-usb --with-doc \
> --host=arm-mv5sft-linux-gnueabi \
> --prefix=/mnt/ARM_FS
And I got the message "Asciidoc is required for documentation support and missing". This was not a important point, so I removed "--with-doc" and tried again. Then it worked! 

But there came another problem. I ran:
# make > make.log
And I got another error:
/root/uboot_NAS/cross/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-mv5sft-linux-gnueabi/4.3.2/../../../../arm-mv5sft-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld: warning: libupsclient.so.1, needed by ./.libs/libnutscan.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)

Uh... why does it search something like libups in cross compile tool? 

The two log files are attached.

 So, just use libusb-0.1.12 without libusb-compat is OK. Right? Now I use v0.1.12.
