Linux version of libusb that works with FreeBSD

I am wondering if anyone has tried building such a beast?
ie a Lunux libusb that will be able to access devices in FreeBSD..

The reason I'd like it is that I want to use this 
http://rmdir.de/~michael/xilinx/ in FreeBSD so I can talk to a USB JTAG 
cable.

The thing I am not sure about is how ioctl's would get mangled on the 
way through.

I guess the other approach would be to use a standard Linux libusb but 
emulate the device tree it uses in Linux.. Would be a lot of work 
though I think.
