New description:

 Hey,
 There is already a definition of bool in C, which uses also false and
 true,
 therefore mc fails to build with ncurses currently as ncurses include
 stdbool.h> where these are defined:

 #ifndef _STDBOOL_H
 #define _STDBOOL_H

 #ifndef __cplusplus

 #define bool    _Bool
 #define true    1
 #define false   0

 #else /* __cplusplus */
 .....
 #endif

 So we should remove this completly from mhl/* and use this instead.
