Looks good, applied.

We were already assuming no spaces in -L switches, see the $filter
manipulations in Makefile.shlib. So I simplified it to

libpath := $(shell echo $(subst -L,:,$(filter -L/%,$(LDFLAGS))) | sed -e's/ //g'):/usr/lib:/lib

It's annoying to have to shell out to sed to get rid of the spaces, but
this is gmake's fault for having such a brain-dead function call syntax.
After looking at the gmake manual, it is possible to use $subst to get
rid of spaces, but it's even uglier (and much harder to follow) than
the above ...
