 GHC creates large numbers of temporary files in /tmp. These would normally
 get cleaned up when the machine is rebooted, but for things like Jenkins
 build machines that don't get rebooted often they buld up pretty quickly.
 The /tmp on my Jenkins build machine currently has over 200k files and
 directories, but only about 40 of them are non-GHC related files.

 Under normal operation, GHC should delete all temporary files it creates.
