That's odd.  I just tried a small test program, and gcc versions 3.2
and 4.0.0 also support <stdbool.h> and _Bool.

Here's the test case:

#include <stdbool.h>
_Bool obj1;
bool obj2;

Save it as, say, "foo.c", feed it to "gcc -c", and see what happens.
Perhaps your gcc is configured and/or installed incorrectly.
