Description
When using the Nix environment on aarch64 with Debian Bookworm, LLVM is being recompiled locally instead of retrieved from the binary cache. This may be expected behaviour, as the system is not based on Ubuntu.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Nix environment on aarch64 with Debian Bookworm and inspect how the LLVM binary cache is configured. Compare the cache behavior with the Ubuntu-based environment; done means either LLVM is retrieved from the cache or the expected Debian behavior and required configuration are documented.
