[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #51680] some LDFLAGS variables may be a space instead of empty string, throwing off other tests

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #51680 (project octave):

Dug into the pkg-config history to determine that this only affects users with
pkg-config < 0.28. This is basically Ubuntu 14.04 and older and CentOS 7 and
older.

It's unfortunate but I think we should address this, so I'm going to push a
change on stable that cleans up the output of pkg-config to ensure there are
no empty strings that are actually space characters.

This should fix mysterious build problems I've been seeing where I need to
install all the development libraries that Octave was built with in order to
build a trivial oct file.
