My understanding was the Bruno added it to Gnulib to avoid common autoconf idioms from throwing the warning/error [1]. I really dislike that option and wish it was never added. Lots of system headers, such as <selinux/selinux.h>, have trailing white space. Having them break your build is annoying. Collin [1] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2025-04/msg00164.html
