Is there a reason for this change? I think crtendS.o is always
preferable and the other ones just exist for weird historical reasons.

There are multiple unrelated and probably unwanted changes here:
* --build-id?
* --eh-frame-header but only for non-static?
* --hash-style=gnu?
* Disallowing -rdynamic for static[-pie]?
* ... ?
I think all that should be done here is ensuring that
--no-dynamic-linker is passed whenever -static-pie is. Is there
something else that's a wanted change that I'm overlooking?
