Presumably this is caused by ICU forcibly including <stdbool.h>
and thereby changing what "bool" is. Since we only started to use
stdbool.h booleans in v11, that's not going to work in v10 or below.

I'm afraid that the short answer is "we're not gonna fix that".
As per the other thread you mentioned, it's possible that we could
make it work by #undef'ing bool in the right places. But the effort
involved and the likely fragility of the results seem discouraging.

If you want to use a bleeding-edge ICU version, don't use a hoary
Postgres version.
