 I have the following files:

 {{{
 {-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}

 module THSplice where

 number3 = [| 3 |]
 }}}

 {{{
 {-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}

 module Main where

 import THSplice

 main = putStrLn (show $number3)
 }}}

 When I say `ghc Main.hs`, I get this:

 {{{
 [1 of 2] Compiling THSplice         ( THSplice.hs, THSplice.o )
 [2 of 2] Compiling Main             ( Main.hs, Main.o )
 Loading package ghc-prim ... linking ... done.
 Loading package integer-gmp ... linking ... done.
 Loading package base ... linking ... done.
 Main.hs:7:23:
     cannot find normal object file ‛./THSplice.dyn_o’
     while linking an interpreted expression
 }}}

 It's possible a different collection of flags could get this to work, but
 I think this behavior goes against the intended "it just works" flavor of
 `--make`.

 This is a regression bug -- ghc 7.6.3 does the right thing.

 I'm on MacOS 10.7.5, Xcode 4.3.3.
