You don't have to patch scons, you can try it this way:

In the top dir of your project, create a site_scons directory, and put a 
site_init.py into it containing this:

# monkeypatch strfunction() to print a prefix 


import SCons.Action
from SCons.Subst import SUBST_CMD

def my_strfunction(self, target, source, env, executor=None, overrides: 
bool = False) -> str:
     if self.cmdstr is None:
         return None
     if self.cmdstr is not SCons.Action._null:
         if executor:
             c = env.subst(self.cmdstr, SUBST_CMD, executor=executor, 
overrides=overrides)
         else:
             c = env.subst(self.cmdstr, SUBST_CMD, target, source, 
overrides=overrides)
         if c:
             return c
     cmd_list, ignore, silent = self.process(target, source, env, 
executor, overrides=overrides)
     if silent:
         return ''
     return "PREFIX: " + SCons.Action._string_from_cmd_list(cmd_list[0])

SCons.Action.CommandAction.strfunction = my_strfunction
