Hello,

I am right now in the process of updating pari-gp to version 2.9.3.
After building it on a git check-out of three days ago, which went smoothly,
I rebased my patch on today's master and was pleased to see that no rebuild
was needed:

$ ./pre-inst-env guix build pari-gp -n
outputs nothing.

However, once the -n dropped, the gd package gets built.
And then it is starting ruby, which has no connection to pari-gp:

This is now fixed with this patch series:

  https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/40130

It does mean that “The following derivations will be built” can be
printed several times during a build.  That’s a natural consequence of
having dynamic dependencies (grafts) in the graph: we can’t always
statically determine what’s going to be built.

‘with-build-handler’ also has to do with continuations, only in a
different way.  :-)
