What does not work?
Cylinder is not seen by the camera and the cube's shadow does not appear as expected either.

This is strange! Just to be sure i removed 2.93 config folder entirely, start it with factory settings, load this file and get this:

EDIT:

Well, after trying vanilla version from blender.org and it's working as expected, i can only suppose the problem is in some Archlinux patches.

My mistake. Thanks for your answer and apologies for any inconvenience.

Thanks for the report, but build problems are off-topic on the bug tracker (as explained in the submission form ).

According to @svenstaro this was caused by -DWITH_CYCLES_EMBREE=ON for the Arch package.

Embree needs to be compiled with certain functionality for this to work, see https://developer.blender.org/diffusion/B/browse/master/build_files/build_environment/cmake/embree.cmake

EMBREE_RAY_MASK=ON is the relevant one here, EMBREE_FILTER_FUNCTION=ON and EMBREE_BACKFACE_CULLING=OFF are the other ones that could affect render results.
