bogus gcc option used when compiling ghc-6.4.2

I'm compiling ghc-6.4.2 using gcc-4.1.1 on a gentoo linux system. It's going fine, except that there are persistent warnings about the unrecognized "-nopie" option. Presumably this is meant to be the opposite of the "-pie" (position independent executable) option, but apparently it isn't a valid option (at least not on this compiler). I just wanted to bring this to your attention.
