Subject: [PATCH] Fix regression in how "pkg-config --static" output is handled

Change a1ea49878927dfe2 did replace different pkg-config calls for
-L, -l arguments to one. Anyhow, it also removed the eval() call that
ensured that the return string was split by whitespace, meaning that
paths couldn't resolve anymore properly if multiple arguments were
returned.

Fixes: QTBUG-79668
Change-Id: I4091fea6891ef79836e05f8e87ffa9d69863a8f5
