I eventually found a method of solving this problem. Even though it is not
the best way to fix it, I think that it is worth posting in case someone
else has the same problem.

To fix the problem append "--tag=CC" (without quotes) to the value of
$(LIBTOOL) in both the main makefile and the test makefile for libusb.
