 With both `.o` and `.dyn_o` object files available, GHCi 7.8.2 ignores the
 dynamic object files.

 {{{
 $ cat >Foo.hs <<EOF
 module Foo where

 foo :: IO ()
 foo = print "Foo"
 EOF
 }}}
 {{{
 $ ghc -Wall -c -dynamic-too -o Foo.o Foo.hs
 }}}
 {{{
 $ ghci
 GHCi, version 7.8.2: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
 Loading package ghc-prim ... linking ... done.
 Loading package integer-gmp ... linking ... done.
 Loading package base ... linking ... done.
 > :l Foo
 [1 of 1] Compiling Foo              ( Foo.hs, interpreted )
 Ok, modules loaded: Foo.
 >
 }}}

 As '''rwbarton''' mentioned on IRC, the reason becomes apparent with `ghci
 -ddump-if-trace`
 {{{
 FYI: cannot read old interface file:
     mismatched interface file ways (wanted "dyn", got "")
 }}}

 This happens both on OS X and Linux.
