Issue created Jul 14, 2015 by Thomas Miedema@thomie

Clear up difference between `WayDyn` and `Opt_Static`

There are currently 2 different ways to test for a static or dynamic build:

  1. Test if WayDyn is in ways
  2. Test if Opt_Static is set

Unless there's a use-case for setting WayDyn/Opt_Static inconsistently (if so, please add a Note somewhere), it should be possible to replace all queries of Opt_Static with an equivalent query of WayDyn. That would have prevented bug #8294 (closed).

See the comments in D1017.
