After each update, these appear, and for libusb, the number slowly

after building, there is no change ...

Use emerge @preserved-rebuild to rebuild packages using these libraries

Are you using an unstable version of gentoo, e.g. ~x86 or ~amd64? The
only reason I know of for 'preserving' an old version is if there is also
a newer one, i.e. libusb-1.0.1, which is a ~ version.
On my ~amd64 machine I had both libusb-0.1.12-r5 and libusb-1.0.1.
I just deleted the 0.1.12 and revdep-rebuild found and rebuilt usbutils,
hal, and sane-backends with no problems, so there seems to be no reason
to have the old version unless you perhaps have the new version masked
on your machine for some reason?
