In msys2 distribution objdump from gcc is using single tab character
prefix, but objdump from clang is using 4 white space characters instead.
The script will not identify any dll dependencies for a QEMU build
generated with clang. This in turn will fail the build, because there
will be no files inside dlldir and no setup file will be created.
Instead of checking for whitespace in prefix use lstrip to accommodate
for differences in outputs.

Thanks. I use nearly the same code `if not line.strip().startswith("DLL 
Name: "):` in my builds for WoA.

@Stefan, can this trivial patch still be applied for 10.0?

I had planned to replace the whole code with objdump by platform 
independent Python code, but that's a larger change, and I missed the 
deadline.

Yes, it is included in Michael Tokarev's latest trivial patches pull
request.
