Victory is mine! It works now. Seems to be hashing around 37 GH/s.
Any thoughts on why it's running slower than it should? I've read that the USB cable is crap, so I ordered a new A-B one. Will try testing with that.

Seems it's not my 3G connection but something is really weird, when I arrived at the cabin bfg had crashed and said "No availiable pools" but during the better part of this week bfg had been unstable during the day, but stable during the nights.
I suspect some complex interaction between bfgminer and the 3G connection causes this. I guess the only proper thing to do is to fix a VPN so I can access the cabin from the city with a linux machine instead of my windows "oculus rift" gaming rig...
Oh, well, I'm going slush solo for now to see if that makes things stabler so expect a DDoS on slush any day now.

What version of git itself? 1.7.10.4.
Hm, so pretty old. Maybe that's related.How do I make sure I have an updated libblmaker besides doing what I've done?
git log inside the libblkmaker directory should show e9cd82be9352d502fce9df696a8933567e1e00a4 as the top commit.You can use the git fetch command followed by git checkout v0.5.1 if it isn't.
Seemed to work. I was able to compile and run.
Testing the U3 is inconclusive however. It doesn't seem to run at the appropriate speed; running at 2 GH/s. Often with 80+% HW.

./bfgminer -d? -S antminer:/dev/ttyUSB7

So what version of git? 
After making sure you have an updated libblkmaker, you can tell autogen.sh to skip submodules with:
NOSUBMODULES=1 ./autogen.sh

Try a current version first.
It doesn't work well with the Monarch on Windows.
But I'm thinking the problem is my 3G operator and not f2pool which is now working and the pool uptime is still haywire... will check it out this weekend.

I have this issue with bfgminer; when any pool in my list is attacked with DDoS bfg goes crazy and drops out all over the place.
First this happened to me with 1.ghash 2.slush when ghash whent upside down two weeks ago. Then bfg never connected to slush = zero revenue but full electric bill = not good.
Now when I have 1.slush 2.f2pool it happened again when f2pool was under attack! that's my secondary pool!!!
I think it might be due too:
1) My connection is 3G and the connection is dodgy = lots of reconnects.
2) I'm using BFLs old Monarch compatible bfgminer.
But how can I tell bfgminer to only connect to pools that behave good?
