Reproducing the behavior

I have CUDA 12.6 and 11.8 installed simultaneously in my system and when I ran cargo install hvm command, it gave this error:

error: failed to compile `hvm v2.0.22`, intermediate artifacts can be found at `C:\Users\atri\AppData\Local\Temp\cargo-installuUIfpC`.
To reuse those artifacts with a future compilation, set the environment variable `CARGO_TARGET_DIR` to that path.

But when I temporarily deleted the CUDA 11.8, it worked without any errors.
