This I can't reproduce. Failure to compile from another drive, I can.
A fix is to edit C:/ghc/ghc-4.08/bin/ghc in the following way:
change the definition of $TMPDIR near the top to be
$TMPDIR='C:/tmp';
and lower down find the line that says
if ( $ENV{'TMPDIR'} ) ...
and insert
$ENV{'TMPDIR'} = $TMPDIR;
directly before it.
Fiddling with the driver script directly is necessary because even if you
set the environment variable TMPDIR to C:/tmp, bash reduces it to /tmp,
and even if you set it in your .bashrc, Perl mangles it to /tmp. Aargh.
