If a platform lacks the support to specify the dynamic library path,
there is no suitable value to give to the CC_LD_DYNPATH variable.
Allow them to be set to an empty string to signal that they do not
need to add the usual -Wl,-rpath, or -R or whatever option followed
by a directory name. This way,
$(call libpath_template,$(SOMELIBDIR))
would expand to just a single mention of that directory, i.e.
-L$(SOMELIBDIR)
when CC_LD_DYNPATH is set to an empty string (or a "-L", which
would have repeated the same "-L$(SOMELIBDIR)" twice without any
ill effect).

## Getting sick of writing -L$(SOMELIBDIR) $(CC_LD_DYNPATH)$(SOMELIBDIR)?
## Write $(call libpath_template,$(SOMELIBDIR)) instead, perhaps?
