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?
