ideally c++ would support all c keywords since c++ programmers
expect c headers to be valid c++ and new c keywords are in the
implementation namespace (except restrict in c99).

then _Bool, _Noreturn, etc in declarations would work in c++
(and it would be a conforming c++ implementation).

c code will use _Bool without including stdbool.h, so defining
it in stdbool.h does not help most uses of _Bool.

iow, this is either a minor gcc bug or a big fat c++ defect
depending on how you look at it, the libc cannot fix this
properly, just emulate the broken nonsense in gcc stdbool.h
that nobody should rely on.
