Thanks guys, but that doesn't help

[danbst at master:/tmp/scibuild]$ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -K -A qscintilla
--option build-use-substitutes false
/nix/store/kycs9akg1h70wjm0p4cg9cc384ccrfy7-qscintilla-2.8.3

[danbst at master:/tmp/scibuild]$ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -K -A qscintilla
--option binary-caches ""
/nix/store/kycs9akg1h70wjm0p4cg9cc384ccrfy7-qscintilla-2.8.3

[danbst at master:/tmp/scibuild]$

I have 'gc-keep-outputs = true' option enabled. Can this be a problem?
