I had a closer look, and it actually isn't libusb.pc from the build host
(or directly anything to do with libusb).

The problem is really that the --without-cups option doesn't really
work. We already have a related workaround for this where we
ac_cv_path_CUPS_CONFIG='', but more is needed. When we pass
--without-cups the configure script hardcodes cups_prefix to "/usr".

host-gutenprint itself doesn't depend on host-libusb, but other packages
do so it might be built before host-gutenprint. If the configure script
detects libusb support (using pkg-config), then it will build a cups
backend using libusb (even though cups support is disabled) and intall
it into $cups_prefix/share/cups/usb, breaking the build :/

So either we fix the configure script to really disable the cups support
when configured with --without-cups, we add your patch as a workaround
or we simply add PKG_CONFIG=false to HOST_GUTENPRINT_CONF_ENV to make
sure the configure script doesn't find libusb. We can do that as
pkg-config is only used to check for libusb and gtk2, neither of which
we need for host-gutenprint.
