Rich,
Those patches were created for optimizing some legOS code. I believe it was some
interupt code. The legOS code and brickOS code have internal work arounds. I
have some emails concerning this somewhere. But you don't need these patches
for everthing to work.
I would be careful with GCC 3.3. I remember seeing issues about the compiler in
the newsgroup. I would do a search on it. I have not used it myself so I am not
really sure what issue are there and which ones matter. GCC 2.95 is the
"official" gcc version for brickOS.

Don't know much about USB on Linux. There has been several threads about it
here. Also the is a Linux/USB project of SourceForge. I you find out anything
post it here.
Good Luck!
