I know they are not flags for xlC, that is
why I said this:

If you create a Linux-xlc.cmake file you can change cmake
to not add -fPIC and -rdyanmic.   If you copy Linux.cmake to
Linux-xlc.cmake and Linux-xlC.cmake, then edit those files to
have the correct flags for xlc, it should work without using
the gcc emulators.  If you get that working please send me
the Linux-xlc.cmake files and I will put them in CMake.
