You have to redirect stderr too. This is done like this: "make >
make.log 2>&1"

Anyway, if I remember correctly, the official NUT archive have some
trouble with "--with-*" directives when it comes to compile nut-scanner.
This has been fixed in the svn trunk.
So you can try to make it compile without the "--with-usb" or try the
svn source code.
