Could we maybe pick an external symbol name that's less likely to
clash?  I don't mind gnulib defining external symbols all the time,
but defining a symbol named as generically as "dummy" on only one
platform makes me worry that it'll conflict in some program, leading
to build failures for just the affected platform.

So can I suggest we define dummy unconditionally, or rename it to
(say) gnulib_dummy_symbol?
