Trebor,

I did some testing and was able to successfully compile
virt-viewer-0.5.3 with usb-redirection on a fresh install of Ubuntu
12.04 32-bit.  Below are the steps that I used.  Note: I chose to
install the SPICE stuff to /usr/local/spice

A) Install dependencies

sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0.0-0-dev intltool libpixman-1-dev
libogg-dev libssl-dev libsasl2-dev libgtk-3-dev
libpulse-dev libjpeg-turbo8-dev libnss3-dev libgudev-1.0-dev libxml2-dev

B) Set PKG_CONFIG_PATH

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/spice/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/spice/share/pkgconfig

C) Install sources

1) spice-protocol-0.10.1
    - configure --prefix=/usr/local/spice
    - make
    - sudo make install
2) usbredir-0.4.3
    - configure --prefix=/usr/local/spice
    - make
    - sudo make install
3) celt-0.5.1.3
    - configure --prefix=/usr/local/spice
    - make
    - sudo make install
4) libcacard-0.1.2
    - configure --prefix=/usr/local/spice
    - make
    - sudo make install
5) spice-gtk-0.11
    - configure --prefix=/usr/local/spice
    - make
    - sudo make install
6) virt-viewer-0.5.3
    - configure --with-gtk=3.0
    - make
    - sudo make install

Hope this helps.

Anthony
