Template parametric type Allocator in C++

I have the following toy code that works:

#include <cstdlib>
#include <vector>

template <typename T>
struct Dummy {
        using value_type = T;
        using size_type = size_t;
        using difference_type = ptrdiff_t;
        using pointer = value_type*;
        using const_pointer = const value_type*;
        using reference = value_type&;
        using const_reference = const value_type&;

        Dummy() = default;
        Dummy(const Dummy&) = default;
        
        pointer allocate(size_type n, const void* hint = 0) {
                (void)hint;
                return static_cast<pointer>(aligned_alloc(128, n * sizeof(T)));
        }

        void deallocate(void* p, size_type) {
                if (p)
                        free(p);
        }
};

int main()
{
        
        std::vector<int, Dummy<int, 16>> v;
        
        
        for (size_t i = 1; i < 5000; ++i)
                v.push_back(i);
        
        
        return 0;
}

Now I would like to templetize (not to put in the constructor) the alignment. I try to add to the template a integer parameter

template <typename T, size_t align>
struct Dummy {
        using value_type = T;
        using size_type = size_t;
        using difference_type = ptrdiff_t;
        using pointer = value_type*;
        using const_pointer = const value_type*;
        using reference = value_type&;
        using const_reference = const value_type&;

        Dummy() = default;
        Dummy(const Dummy&) = default;

        pointer allocate(size_type n, const void* hint = 0) {
                (void)hint;
                return static_cast<pointer>(aligned_alloc(align, n * sizeof(T)));
        }

        void deallocate(void* p, size_type) {
                if (p)
                        free(p);
        }
};

int main()
{
        
        std::vector<int, Dummy<int, 128>> v;
        
        
        for (size_t i = 1; i < 5000; ++i)
                v.push_back(i);
        
        
        return 0;
}

I'm getting a lot of compilation error both with g++ and clang++: for instance

/usr/include/c++/10.2.0/bits/alloc_traits.h:78:11: error: no type named 'type' in 'struct std::__allocator_traits_base::__rebind<Dummy<int, 128>, int, void>'
   78 |     using __alloc_rebind
      |           ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I do not understand what is going on. I notice that even if I do not use align in the class the compiler complaints the same way. If instead I put an unused typename inside the template everything is compiling fine. Can you help me?
