I prepared some binary packages (with quickpkg) in order to have a 
quicker downgrade path just before emerging some beta software.  The 
beta software didn't work as expected so I simply unmerged it and 
emerged to old ones with "emerge -K".  This works fine, but produces 
this warning:

   * Your CFLAGS contains "-fPIC" which can break packages.
   * Your CXXFLAGS contains "-fPIC" which can break packages.
   *
   * Before you file a bug, please remove these flags and
   * re-compile the package in question as well as all its dependencies

Why is this?  I do not have "-fPIC" in my CFLAGS, but AFAIK it's on by 
default on AMD64 anyway.  In this case, why the warning?
