The problem that you see is that recent modifications of the module
system change pkgs to be the result of the configuration, instead of
being the one from your system.
This change as a side-effect of making pkgs.lib cause infinite recursions.

Then, I am not completely sure to understand what you want to achieve
which cannot be done with the module system?
