ghc-6.4 fPIC compilation problem on amd64

[ariep at xs4all.nl]

Hi,

When trying to compile ghc-6.4 from source on my amd64 using a 6.2.2
binary (obtained via gentoo portage), I get the following error message:

#####
make all
[...]
/usr/bin/ghc -o ghc-pkg.bin -H16m -O -cpp -Wall -fno-warn-name-shadowing
-fno-warn-unused-matches -i../../lib/compat -Rghc-timing

make[4]: *** [ghc-pkg.bin] Error 1

I added -fPIC to CFLAGS, LDFLAGS and the ghc options (the latter by
'./configure --with-ghc="/usr/bin/ghc -fPIC"'), without effect: ghc does
not know an -fPIC, the other two attempts gave the same error message as
above.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for your time,
