Andreas, could you advise with this issue?

We need to link against libusb-0.1.so.4 that needs symbols from
libusb-1.0.so.0.

But we need to make symbols from libusb-1.0.so.0 invisible for the application
that links to libusb-0.1.so.4.

Is something like that easily possible or do we need to play with
dlopen("libusb-1.0.so.0", RTLD_LOCAL) and dlsym() wrappers?

This partial issue can be worked around by modifying of the application source
code. But libusb is a LGPL application and it is used by many proprietary
programs. As libusb0 did not define symbol libusb_open, such application could
use it for its own function. After migration to libusb-compat, such application
stops to work.
