I see... you are building a cache that will become invalid when either
- the bootstrap.conf changes, or
- there is a change in gnulib in one of the request modules (in the
module description or in code).

With your cache, you'll now have to trust your decision whether to use
or erase the cache. But at least, you can automate this decision:
erase the cache when bootstrap.conf or the referenced gnulib submodule
was changed.
In other words, replace the cache file name
/home/jas/.local/gnulib-bootstrap-cache/bootstrap-files-for-libidn.tar.gz
with
/home/jas/.local/gnulib-bootstrap-cache/bootstrap-files-for-libidn-<gnulib_submodule_commit>-<hash_code_of_bootstrap.conf>.tar.gz
