build: try to produce a statically linked position independent executable

In theory this should be as simple as:

 $ cc -fPIE -pie --static helloworld.c

But unfortunately by default this will always add a PT_INTERP referencing
the dynamic loader/linker. On latest binutils >=2.26 this can be worked
around by supplying --no-dynamic-linker. Also tweak the musl-gcc wrapper
to use rcrt1.o as startup file.
