Log Message:
bsd.lib.mk: in 'lint' target, don't list defined but unused symbols

When building a library, it is common that there are many symbols that
are defined but not used, as that's exactly the point of a library.

When running the 'lint' target manually, don't complain about these
symbols, by creating a "dummy" library.  That dummy library is not
installed anywhere.

For libxcb, the output shrinks from more than 3000 lines down to 5.
