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 ...

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.
