This issue is a bit off-the-original-topic, but as I found reason/solution
to this other problem, please find it below:

In fact it did not matter if there was -fpic or not. Binary in working
folder was ok. However, file in staging directory was not.

File commands gave slightly different results in those two locations:
working directory:
objname.o: ELF 32-bit LSB  relocatable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), not
stripped
staging directory:
objname.o: ELF 32-bit LSB  relocatable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV),
stripped

So, the reason:
The command I used in my recipe to copy object to staging directory was:
install -m 0755 ${S}/objname.o ${D}${STAGE}/

It seems that install command in bitbake recipe has changed since fido
version. Execute acl triggered something to make stripping. However,
stripping does not happen if I remove execute acl like on the line below:
install -m 0644 ${S}/objname.o ${D}${STAGE}/
