Generally you wouldn't add libraries to crosstool-ng. glibc/uclibc/musl 
are special because gcc needs to be built against the specific libc 
implementation.

libusb and others aren't required by gcc so don't generally fit the 
bill. What I suspect you want is a build system that works with 
toolchains produced by crosstool-ng. Buildroot (https://buildroot.org) 
is one such build system but I'm sure there are others.
