Hmm. I am not sure if letting newlib provide stdbool.h is correct. 

I for one, am inclined  to think, providing stdbool.h to be task of the
compiler and not of libc 

FWIW: gcc already provides stdbool.h. So, given gcc's include file
search path, having a $(includedir)/stdbool.h in addition to gcc's
stdbool.h is pretty much useless and will probably raise conflicts
between newlib and gcc.
