How did you conclude that ICU is the problem? I didn't immediately find
anything in the buildfarm output indicating that's where the stdbool include
is coming from. Don't get me wrong, it's a plausible guess, just curious.

The machine is updated automatically. Looking at the package manager's log, it
indeed looks like ICU was updated around that time...
2022-04-24 06:52:10 install libicu71:amd64 <none> 71.1-2
Seems easiest to just change the configuration so that ICU isn't enabled for
10, 11? It's pretty reasonable to rely on it these days...
