It looks to me like the bootstrap script expects that the libtool 
directory is based on a git clone.  Did you get it from a release 
tarball or via a git clone?  If you did get it from a release tarball, 
why do you want to run bootstrap.

Libldtl is a library.  It is not libtool (a shell script).  First the 
libtool script is generated, and then libltdl is built using it.

I have no experience with "Ubuntu for windows" but perhaps Windows 
Linux system call emulation is not a perfect emulation?  Or perhaps 
your directories/folders need to be prepared in a particular way?
