Description
-nodynlink isn't usable by default because it breaks PIC, but it would be nice if at least it was possible to enable it for an additional speed up.

Research direction
Start with the referenced Dune pull request 4081 and its linked discussion about PIC and -nodynlink. No file, test, or entry point is named in this issue, so first identify where Dune handles these compiler options. Done means there is a supported way to enable -nodynlink for a performance improvement without breaking PIC.
