 If I invoke GHCi as {{{ghci -eventlog}}}, it says: {{{Warning: -debug,
 -threaded and -ticky are ignored by GHCi}}}. However, the flag does make a
 difference, in that GHCi will be able to load object files that were
 compiled using {{{-eventlog}}}. For this reason, I don't think
 {{{-eventlog}}} should trigger the warning.

 Also runghc has the same issue.
