-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
 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.

 See the comments in Phab:D1017.
