Please help me to fix these scripts and to make them work properly.

It is not mentioned here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BuildingLibreOffice
But you are right because it is mentioned here:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/BuildingOnLinux#Checking_out_a_release_branch
However, since I missed it, this is an indicator that documentation lacks
something
(because I am not a novice user).

I rename the code directory to match the name of the branch.
In this case the commands above are not sufficient either (`make clean`
will fail).
The command `git clean -fdx` will fix this, as used here:
https://github.com/FreeSoft-AL/libreoffice-compile/blob/master/compile/get-branch.sh

By the way, I have tried twice more to compile the branch libreoffice-5-0,
and both of the times it failed with the message:
----------

g++: internal compiler error: Killed (program cc1plus)

with preprocessed source if appropriate.

However I have to admit that I didn't use `./g`, just to make sure that it
is necessary.

Now I am compiling it again, but this time for the branch
libreoffice-5-0-0, which
I suppose is more stable than libreoffice-5-0. And I also used `./g`.
The compilation is still going on (and it will last for about 10 hours or
so).
