 If I run "ghc -no-link --make A.hs -o foo" it puts the first object file
 it compiles into the `-o` location, and then fails because the object is
 not where is expected.

 {{{
 [ezyang@hs01 ghc-fat-interface]$ ghc -no-link --make B.hs -o foo
 [1 of 2] Compiling A                ( A.hs, A.o )
 ./A.o: getFileStatus: does not exist (No such file or directory)
 }}}

 Without `-no-link` I get a more reasonable warning, and object files are
 not redirected.
