The interesting part is some lines above, something like:

| checking for sane-config... no
| checking for SANE - version >= 1.0.0... no
| *** The sane-config script installed by SANE could not be found
| *** If SANE was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in

Further more, there should be more information about what happened in
config.log.

There was a bug in the configure script of SANE 1.0.5 concerning
libusb. It's also "found" if only usb.h but not libusb.so is present.
This may result in such a problem.

I think, this is a sane-backends problem. Try the latest snapshot from
http://www.mostang.com/sane or wait for SANE 1.0.6 which will be
released during the next days. After compiling sane-backends, do "make
distclean" in xsane-0.80 and start configure again.

Bye,
