[New-bugs-announce] [issue32914] python3-config --ldflags gives a CMP0004 error due to a whitespace

Hi.

I bumped into an interesting compilation issue when I was compiling ecFlow with Python 3 support.

It turns out that python3-config --ldflags gave me this:
" -L/usr/lib64 -lpython3.6m -lpthread -ldl  -lutil -lm  -Xlinker -export-dynamic"

This caused a CMP0004 error due to the space before -L.

With this patch applied, the command gives me:
"-L/usr/lib64  -lpython3.6m -lpthread -ldl  -lutil -lm  -Xlinker -export-dynamic"

Attached is the patch I made to fix this issue. It's as simple as moving $LIBPLUSED one place so that -L$libdir is first.
