When building nim compiler we pass $CI_CACHE to scripts/build_nim.sh as the 4th argument but its not set anywhere. https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-build-system/blob/e6c2c9da39c2d368d9cf420ac22692e99715d22c/makefiles/targets.mk#L80-L88 This could be the reason for weird caching we have been seeing on runner-node-02-linux-01-eu-hel1 Explicitly setting $CI_CACHE to {{runner.temp}} ensure we use a fresh directory always so that we do not get a cached version of nim commit to build. https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-build-system/blob/e6c2c9da39c2d368d9cf420ac22692e99715d22c/scripts/build_nim.sh#L214

This could be the reason for weird caching we have been seeing on runner-node-02-linux-01-eu-hel1
Explicitly setting $CI_CACHE to {{runner.temp}} ensure we use a fresh directory always so that we do not get a cached version of nim commit to build.
