Symbols don't get defined by #defines.  They are substituted before
compile and link time by the preprocessor.

What I've done in the past is to make a dummy function or a wrapper
function to provide the symbol.

If the symbol is a variable, this is more difficult.  Again, you could
provide a dummy value for it, but if the code actually needs that
symbol with meaningful data, you will run into issues.
