 Hi, I have been trying to use https://github.com/thriqon/pandoc-docker or
 to add pandoc to https://github.com/mitchty/alpine-ghc.

 However, in both cases, install commands are running into an issue with
 the '-nopie' flag passed to GCC.

 The gist of the error thrown when using wither Cabal or Stack is:

 {{{
 <no location info>:
 Warning: Couldn't figure out linker information!
 Make sure you're using GNU ld, GNU gold or the built in OS X linker, etc.
 gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-nopie'; did you mean '-no-
 pie'?
 )
 }}}

 I am not sure where the error is, as I am really a non-expert. But the gcc
 linking option is "-no-pie", so if there is indeed an option "-nopie"
 being passed, it seems like it is a typo.
