I presume you're running debian unstable (from 2).  I think this may be
from a change in gcc 3.3 or a recent binutils, since I first noticed it
today.  About a week ago (last time I compiled in unstable) ghc didn't give
all these warnings.

Fixed (in the darcs repo).  (But the tests are still running, so you'll
have to wait a minute or two to grab it!  :)
