Summary: windows/cygwin ghc 4.08.2 driver: DEFAULT_TMPDIR not set

Details: The GHC driver (I suspect) reports that the DEFAULT_TMPDIR is not
set, resulting in the fact that the cpp file generated by the compiler gets
lost and compiling is cancelled.

On the GHC homepage, I could not find this problem in the FAQ of the
"Installing on Windows" section (2.2).
Setting an environment variable DEFAULT_TMPDIR (either in Windows or in
Cygwin Bash) doesn't help. I re-installed the previous version of GHC, and
everything works as expected, so I expect this problem to be introduced in
4.08.2.
