Ignoring the obvious quoting issues here (what Felix does with `getenv' seems
much safer, and should produce the same result?),

This should be solvable by using `file-append', so, basing on the system*
variant, something like:

    #~(system* #$(file-append curl "/bin/curl") <other-arguments-here>)

Should invoke curl by absolute path.  (You need import (gnu packages curl) of
course.)

Hope this helps,
