Thanks for the suggestions, Richard. Answers below.

Yes, some stamps exist, but fewer than I would expect. I don't see a
do_compile step.

:~/oe-core/build/tmp-eglibc/stamps$ find . -name libusb-compat*
./armv5te-oe-linux-gnueabi/libusb-compat-1_0.1.3-r3.do_package_write
./armv5te-oe-linux-gnueabi/libusb-compat-1_0.1.3-r3.do_populate_lic_setscene
./armv5te-oe-linux-gnueabi/libusb-compat-1_0.1.3-r3.do_package_setscene.qemuarm
./armv5te-oe-linux-gnueabi/libusb-compat-1_0.1.3-r3.do_package_write_ipk_setscene
./armv5te-oe-linux-gnueabi/libusb-compat-1_0.1.3-r3.do_populate_sysroot_setscene.qemuarm

However, it does look like binaries were created. For example, here is
a 13 kB ELF file:
tmp-eglibc/work/armv5te-oe-linux-gnueabi/libusb-compat-1_0.1.3-r3/packages-split/libusb-compat/lib/libusb-0.1.so.4.4.4

:~/oe-core/build/tmp-eglibc/work/armv5te-oe-linux-gnueabi/libusb-compat-1_0.1.3-r3$

total 16K

> Secondly, did it place any libusb-compat package into tmp/deploy/ipk/* ?

It did not:

:~/oe-core/build/tmp-eglibc/deploy/ipk$ find . -name libusb-compat*

However, there are a bunch of libusb packages:

:~/oe-core/build/tmp-eglibc/deploy/ipk$ find . -name libusb*
./armv5te/libusb-0.1-dbg_0.1.3-r3_armv5te.ipk
./armv5te/libusb-1.0-0_1.0.8-r3_armv5te.ipk
./armv5te/libusb-1.0-dbg_1.0.8-r3_armv5te.ipk
./armv5te/libusb-1.0-dev_1.0.8-r3_armv5te.ipk
./armv5te/libusb-1.0-staticdev_1.0.8-r3_armv5te.ipk
./armv5te/libusb-0.1-dev_0.1.3-r3_armv5te.ipk
./armv5te/libusb-0.1-4_0.1.3-r3_armv5te.ipk
./armv5te/libusb-0.1-staticdev_0.1.3-r3_armv5te.ipk

If I understand how do_rootfs works from
http://docs.openembedded.org/usermanual/usermanual.html#rootfs_ipkg_class,
it seems like the ipk is not being built correctly, so do_rootfs can't
pull it into the filesystem image.

I'm not sure where to go from here. It looks like at least some code
was compiled, but somehow it's not getting packaged right.
