It is not entirely clear to me anymore why this was suggested to me
in the past 4 months.
I am aware of the differences, so maybe this could point to where
ever the /ssl/certs/ are?

When you know that gnurl does not need this, we're all good without
this change.
Gnurl so far is just curl with some project recommended build switches,
so if guix' curl detects the ssl/certs/ dir, gnurl should too.
