1. bootstrap.sh generates the configure script for Asterisk. It's there
to help with platform compatibility issues, as well as to make sure the
configure file is built with all of the macros defined in the various
.m4 files in Asterisk's autoconf sub-directory.

2. It appears as if you're running a modified version of Asterisk, in
which case all bets are off. This works fine on the Linux build agents,
which is what we use to build the tarballs on downloads.asterisk.org.
So, no, I don't think there's a bug in the shell script.
