a likely reason for this error is that you don't have an application 
configuration or the configuration is somehow incomplete or inconsistent:

https://docs.rtems.org/branches/master/c-user/configuring_a_system.html

You can look at the linker map file (GCC link option "-Wl,-Map,map.txt") 
to figure out what pulled in dummy.o.

I guess you can obtain the sources in an extra package. Working without 
the RTEMS sources could turn out to be difficult in the long run.
