  No, it's not the name of any real file after all, and there's nothing
special about it for Windows.  (It was at times a useful diagnostic to know
whether an error arose in the original file or the replacement bfd by looking
at the filename in the error message, but other than that the only purpose it
served is subsumed in your new BFD_PLUGIN_DUMMY flag.)

    cheers,
