Comment:

 This is the intended behaviour, and it is documented:
 [http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/separate-
 compilation.html#output-files].

 Consider this:

 {{{
   $ ghc -odir out ../src/foo.hs
 }}}

 where do you want the object file to go?

 If you're using `-odir`, why not put the output files in separate
 directories?
