Build cgminer without enabling support for anything that requires usbutils.c (currently that includes bitforce, modminer, and bflsc). That's what the blog you linked does.
Yeah, I know its because I am building with --enable-bflsc, which is what I am attempting to do.
I commented out the offending lines and it seems to compile and run. I won't know if it actually works till I get my BFLs, which hopefully wont be too long.
