The current implementation prepends a space on every line, making it difficult to compare against GNU strings.
The space appears to have come from handling --radix in rL292707. The space is for making sure there's a space between the radix and the value; however the space is still emitted even when there is no radix. This change fixes that so the space is only emitted when there is a radix.
Nit: Use --check-prefix instead of -check-prefix for consistency with --strict-whitespace.
