 To reproduce:

 {{{
 $ touch test.cmm
 $ ghc -c test.cmm -outputdir=build
 ghc-stage2: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
   (GHC version 7.9.20140428 for x86_64-unknown-linux):
         hscCmmFile: no_mod
 }}}

 The panic is declared in `main/HscMain.hs:hscCompileCmmFile` in place of
 current module name, but forced in
 `main/CodeOutput.lhs:outputForeignStubs` by `doesFileExist`.

 It works without `-outputdir` because in that case module name is not used
 to create path to stub file, see `main/Finder.lhs:mkStubPaths`.
