I'd like to use QEMU in GuixSD with direct USB passthrough support.
However, "info usbhost" in QEMU monitor gives me "usb host devices not
supported". I think this means the recipe for QEMU in Guix builds QEMU
without libusb and thus it doesn't support host devices.
Looking at qemu description in guix doesn't list libusb as a dependency,
so that strengthens my suspicion.
I haven't experimented with Guix package recipes yet and so am not
advanced enough to modify the Scheme file and build it locally yet, so
I'd like to request help here - if this is indeed the case - if someone
could modify the recipe and push to the repository, so QEMU would be
built with libusb support to enable the USB host functionality.
Could anyone do this? Many thanks.

Thanks for the report. I noticed that our libusb was too old for QEMU,
so I updated it and then added libusb as a dependency of QEMU in commit
732665a. It’s currently in a branch that we’ll merge when Hydra has
built it.
