Track -dynamic/-fPIC to avoid obscure linker errors

Using the wrong combination of -dynamic and/or -fPIC can lead to obscure linker errors, see e.g. #3705 (closed). We should track whether an object file was compiled with -dynamic and -fPIC so that we can give better error messages before running the linker.
