GHC doesn't accept url specifying output file that is in a directory that is created by the -outputdir flag

Command:

ghc p.hs -outputdir simple -o simple/po

Output:

<command line>: error: directory portion of "simple/po" does not exist (used with "-o" option.)

Directory "simple" does not exist before the time of compilation.
