I think that stripping trailing spaces will break scenarios such as
"directory name with trailing space" in stuff like:

--prefix=/path
--with-linked-git=/path
etc

That error message does not come from autogen.sh itself, but from (the
parts of) ./configure (automatically generated by autoconf). So you'd
have to fix this in *autoconf*, and then use the fixed autoconf.

But then you have fixed the problem for all the free software
ecosystem, not only LibreOffice :)
