You shouldn't link to stdbool_.h but to stdbool.h
stdbool_.h is just a template file, the Makefile will create later the 
real stdbool.h.

But if you try to link to stdbool.h at configure time, since stdbool.h 
doesn't yet exist, you have the following error:
config.status: linking ./lib/stdbool.h to include/stdbool.h
config.status: error: ./lib/stdbool.h: file not found

Well CC supports templates so that's fine.
