Appending to my last message:
how can I make this valid:

   (arguments
    `(#:configure-flags '("--enable-ipv6" "--with-gnutls" "--without-libssh2"
                          "--without-libmetalink" "--without-winidn"
                          "--without-librtmp" "--without-nghttp2"
                          "--without-nss" "--without-cyassl"
                          "--without-polarssl" "--without-ssl"
                          "--without-winssl" "--without-darwinssl"
                          "--disable-sspi" "--disable-ntlm-wb"
                          "--disable-ldap" "--disable-rtsp" "--disable-dict"
                          "--disable-telnet" "--disable-tftp" "--disable-pop3"
                          "--disable-imap" "--disable-smtp" "--disable-gopher"
                          "--disable-file" "--disable-ftp" "--disable-smb"
                          (string-append
                           "--with-ca-bundle="
                           (string-append (assoc-ref %build-inputs "nss-certs")
                                          
"/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt")))

The string-append is not valid here.
