    I had the same problem for a long time.

    I finally grepped for hid_report_size in /usr/include/*.h, and
found an old, leftover libusb.h that had the old signature with the
pointer at the end.

    Blow this file away, and the build failure goes away.  Doing as
Michael suggested and doing rm -rf /usr/include/*, followed by an
installworld, seems to be good practice.
