Comment (by slyfox):

 Having written that I wondered who forces '''-fPIC''' on you and the
 answer is obvious!
 Rogue package:

 {{{
 $ cabal unpack unix-time
 Unpacking to unix-time-0.3.5/

 $ grep -R -C4 -i fPIC unix-time-0.3.5/

 unix-time-0.3.5/unix-time.cabal-  if impl(ghc >= 7.8)
 unix-time-0.3.5/unix-time.cabal:    CC-Options:         -fPIC
 }}}
