theano.test() fails with nvcc error - nvcc fatal :

Question

I'm installing Theano into an Ananconda environment and seem to have run into an install issue I don't understand. After I create the environment I run theano.test() and get the following error:

ERROR:theano.sandbox.cuda:Failed to compile cuda_ndarray.cu: ('nvcc return status', 1, 'for cmd', 'nvcc -shared -O3 -m64 -Xcompiler -DCUDA_NDARRAY_CUH=m11b90075e2397c684f9dc0f7276eab8f,-D NPY_NO_DEPRECATED_API=NPY_1_7_API_VERSION,-fPIC -Xlinker -rpath,/home/brad/.theano/compiledir_Linux-4.4--generic-x86_64-with-debian-stretch-sid-x86_64-3.5.2-64/cuda_ndarray -I/home/brad/anaconda3/envs/theano1/lib/python3.5/site-packages/theano/sandbox/cuda -I/home/brad/anaconda3/envs/theano1/lib/python3.5/site-packages/numpy/core/include -I/home/brad/anaconda3/envs/theano1/include/python3.5m -o /home/brad/.theano/compiledir_Linux-4.4--generic-x86_64-with-debian-stretch-sid-x86_64-3.5.2-64/cuda_ndarray/cuda_ndarray.so mod.cu -L/home/brad/anaconda3/envs/theano1/lib -lpython3.5m -lcublas -lcudart')

If I run the quoted nvcc command from the command line, I get:

nvcc fatal   : Don't know what to do with 'NPY_NO_DEPRECATED_API=NPY_1_7_API_VERSION,-fPIC'

The CUDA install seems to be working. I can compile and run all the CUDA examples, run deviceQuery and do a bandwidth test successfully. I get the same error inside or outside of my Anaconda environment and with python 2.7 or 3.5. Theano.test(0) seems to be running fine except for the nvcc error.(still running) The error is triggered with just theano.test(), but it is also triggered if I also import Keras and run 'from keras.models import Sequential'

I noticed there are a lot of unanswered Theano install questions, but hopefully this issue is not unique to me. I haven't had much luck googling a solution.
