I think you must be using a version of GHC prior to 5.04.2. This functionality was fixed in 5.04.2.

I just checked, it really is (or claims to be:-) version 5.04.2. I get the same error using 5.04.2 under Linux too.

What command line are you using? Here's what I did: ~/scratch > cat >foo.c ~/scratch > gcc -c foo.c ~/scratch > ghc --make hello.hs foo.o ghc-5.04.2: chasing modules from: hello.hs Skipping Main ( hello.hs, ./hello.o ) ghc: linking ... ~/scratch > Actually I was incorrect before: this has worked fine in 5.04, 5.04.1 and 5.04.2. The fix made in 5.04.2 was to pass files without a recognised extension through to the linker, to match the behaviour without --make. Cheers, Simon
