Hello,

This is not an issue or bug report for node-gyp, this is a tired dev asking for help.

I'm trying to speed up our pipelines running on github actions. Currently yarn install takes about 1 minute, in a huge mono-repo. I'm already using actions/cache and checked actions/setup-node with the cache: yarn option as well, but couldn't bring down the yarn install time.

From what I can tell, the biggest time cost comes from 2 dependencies which run node-gyp every time. On CI, the Link step takes 1 minute. Locally, it's ~1s and node-gyp doesn't run (again)

I tried caching the builds and the global cache:

~/.cache/node-gyp
# Explicit caching of the affected packages
node_modules/cpu-features/build
node_modules/unix-dgram/build

I confirmed the build cache is correctly saved and restored, but node-gyp still runs.

Do you have any advice how I can skip running node-gyp on CI?
