I just spent quite a while tracking down the fact that I had a trailing
space on a line in my autogen.input file.

If it's not possible to strip trailing spaces, could we modify the
following error message:

    configure: error: invalid feature name: debug

so it reads something like

   configure: error: invalid feature name: 'debug '

But if we would strip trailing spaces, how would I denote my --with-external-tar directory whose pathname ends in a space? :P

The format of the configure error message is controlled by autoconf, so you'd need to send a patch there. For the meantime, I suggest Emacs setting

  (setq-default show-trailing-whitespace t)
