For reasons explained in source comments, we ignore linker options
that appear in predefined generic units. This patch adds a fatal
error message if this is attempted. This is an internal change
only since it affects only implementation units, so no test needed
Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, committed on trunk
