Description
./autogen.sh failed on Cygwin when trying to build from cloned repo:
Updating build configuration files, please wait....
libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in '.'.
libtoolize: linking file './ltmain.sh'
autoreconf-2.69: libtoolize failed with exit status: 1
Maybe it's because ltmain.sh is a symlink.
Building from tarball (without autogen) works fine.
Env
windows 10 x64
autoreconf 2.69
libtoolize 2.4.6
opus 1.3.1
Upd

Research direction
Start with autogen.sh and the reported autoreconf/libtoolize output, reproducing the failure on Cygwin with the listed versions. Compare the cloned-repository path with the working tarball path, focusing on the ltmain.sh symlink; done means autogen.sh completes successfully on Cygwin.
