I just ran into this again. 

Can't build on a 64 bit system running Perl 5.26. If you do force the build and
install, you'll just get difficult to diagnose 500 errors in Koha.

As Colin mentioned, there's been known issues for this for ages:
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=Text-Unaccent

I've gone to https://packages.debian.org/stretch/libtext-unaccent-perl to see
if I can find the patch that Debian uses.

I reckon
http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libt/libtext-unaccent-perl/libtext-unaccent-perl_1.08-1.3.diff.gz
is the patch but the Debian CDN keeps timing out on me. 

When I try with curl, it seems like the CDN is refusing connections on port 80
and 443, so something looks like it's up with Debian...
