 For example, given the module

 {{{#!hs
 module Test where

 foo = putStrLn "Hello World"
 }}}

 if I compile using the command

 {{{
 ghc -c Test.hs
 }}}

 and then I compile adding the `-Wall` flag

 {{{
 ghc -c -Wall Test.hs
 }}}

 I would expect the warning

 {{{
 Test.hs:3:1: Warning:
     Top-level binding with no type signature: foo :: IO ()
 }}}

 but GHC produces the message

 {{{
 compilation IS NOT required
 }}}

 That is, the `-Wall` flag was ignored because the `Test.o` and `Test.hi`
 exist.

 (I couldn't reproduce this behaviour using gcc version 4.6.3.)
