panic when using .o files from the wrong platform
When I moved a tarball of a haskell project from my linux box to a windows box, I forgot to delete the linux object files. GHC subsequently panicked when I tried to compile the project with the message "loadObj: failed". Obviously, this is a dumb thing for the user to do, but if practicable, it would be nice if GHC could handle it more gracefully.
