Speaking of which: I was also a bit confused as to what these dummy 
variables are supposed to do. However, that reminds me of something I 
noticed the other day when we experimented with newlib code: realloc.c 
contains a dummy variable name that looks wrong, and in fact clashes 
with the one from calloc.c. I'll send a patch for discussion.
