Thanks.
Strange feature!
Yes, I'm using -outputdir. It seems the -main-is MyProg is the best work
around for me. But for it to work I also have to declare that MyProg is
the name of the main module in the source (of course) which I otherwise
don't have to. I also like to name my main modules with initial
lowercase (myProg.hs) to get Unix sounded executables so my makefile has
to adjust for this too.

The main module doesn't have to be called Main. You can specify a different name
with the -main-is option. That seems like the easiest way to avoid the object
file name clash.
By the way, this problem only seems to arise when the -odir flag is used. If my
Main module is in A.hs and I compile it with "ghc --make A.hs", I get "A.o",
"A.hi" and an executable file "A". (Tested with GHC 7.6.3.)

No. As a workaround I remove the Main.o file after the executable has been
linked. It works, but it has its drawbacks.

Christian, have you tried using cabal? People write cabal files with multiple
executables being generated all the time.

The documentation (version 7.6.3) section 7.7.2 Output files says that the
source file name of the Main module does not have to be Main.hs making it
"possible to have several Main modules in separate source files in the
same directory". While this is true and promising it is seems to be
unusable since GHC always compiles the main source file into an object
file called Main.o.
