Nix has a facility for patching libraries without recompiling the world (the intended use case was for novel zero-days where waiting for hydra to rebuild the world was unacceptable). All I know about it is that I've heard it exists though.

Guix has this, and they call it grafts. I'm not aware of Nix having anything similar just yet
