Are there any tools out there for managing $PATH on the fly without having to edit rc files and source them/manually updating?

insane embedded firmware C/Cpp build environments that aren't yet dockerized and rely on all kinds of version-specific crap in PATH.

Also docker is limited to 256 layers and the docker image would become huge.
So if your system needs to be able to build 10 year old releases and the ones of today a module system is easier to maintain.
