cc-wrapper: Make sure symbol tables of child delegators is not empty

As described in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/18461, MacOS no
longer accepts dylibs which only reexport other dylibs, because their
symbol tables are empty. To get around this, we define an object file
with a single "private extern" symbol, which hopefully won't clobber
anything.
