You need to ensure build-aux/mkstamp exists at the end of the bootstrap.
You could copy it from ltdl/config/.

FWIW I think libtool should move to using build-aux only after moving to
git, thus after 2.2.

BTW, HEAD m4 needs the same bash redirected compound command workaround
for package.m4 as Autoconf.
