Well, in drivers.yaml we have this line:
# Error: dlopen(../plugins/.libs/srm7500libusb.so, 2): Symbol not found: 
_strchrnul

Which should be more or less self-explanatory: some library is missing. 
You need to:
   - Run lirc-lsplugins -e to list all broken plugins.
   - Add a lirc-lsplugins -se to your build for the future.
   - Fix the broken drivers by adding the required libs to 
plugins/Makefile.am in a downstream patch.
    - In this particular case, try the attached patch [2]
    - If just some obscure plugin is failing, you could of course also 
just remove it in a downstream patch.

I have also updated the original patch [1], replacing yet another poll() 
with old select code.


Cheers!
