The patch set you posted modifies (guix build utils), which is a module
every single derivation uses. That’s why modifying it leads to a full
rebuild.
To test ‘wrap-language-programs’ while avoiding a full rebuild, you
could for instance add that procedure to (guix build
python-build-system), in which case you’d have to rebuild “only” Python
packages (but not Python itself), or you could introduce a new module
and use that selectively.
I hope this clarifies and helps a bit!
