GHCi warns about -eventlog even though it's sometimes necessary

If I invoke GHCi as ghci -eventlog, it says: Warning: -debug, -threaded and -ticky are ignored by GHCi. However, the flag does make a difference, in that GHCi will be able to load object files that were compiled using -eventlog. For this reason, I don't think -eventlog should trigger the warning.

Also runghc has the same issue.
