libusb+librump patch

[Bruno Félix Rezende Ribeiro]

Hello, GNU Hurd hackers!

Based on Robert Millan's mplayer rump patch, I was able to make a
patch to successfully build libusb-1.0 on Hurd linking it to librump.
The patch is attached.  To try it, save the patch file in the current
working directory and from there follow these steps:

  $ su -c 'apt-get install libbsd-dev'  
  $ wget 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb/files/libusb-1.0/libusb-1.0.9/libusb-1.0.9.tar.bz2
  $ tar xf libusb-1.0.9.tar.bz2 && cd libusb-1.0.9
  $ patch -p1 < ../libusb-1.0.9+rump.patch
  $ rm config.guess
  $ autoreconf -i
  $ ./configure --enable-debug-log && make

To test the built library, build the example application and run it.

  $ cd examples && make
  $ su -c './listdevs'

Now, here is the problem: When I run 'listdevs' with no USB device
connected to the box I get:

  libusb: 0.000000 debug [libusb_init] libusb-1.0.9
  libusb: 1.870000 debug [usbi_add_pollfd] add fd 4 events 1
  libusb: 1.870000 debug [libusb_init] created default context
  libusb: 1.880000 debug [libusb_get_device_list] 
  libusb: 1.880000 debug [obsd_get_device_list] 
  libusb: 1.910000 debug [libusb_exit] 
  libusb: 1.910000 debug [libusb_exit] destroying default context
  libusb: 1.920000 debug [usbi_remove_pollfd] remove fd 4

And thus no device is listed, as expected.  However, if I plug in any
USB device I get the following message after the first (libusb_init)
line:

  WARNING: 1 error while detecting hardware; check system log.

It means that this message is produced by the 'rump_init' function.
The other debug messages are the same, and thus no device is listed
--- what's not right.

Do you have any idea on what's going on?  Any points to facts,
procedures, concepts or documentation will be highly appreciated.  If
I can't make libusb work properly when directly linked to librump, I
clearly won't be able to make a translator indirection work.

A problem at a time.
