The SheenBidi translation unit must be built as C, not C++.
That seems to have fixed the build config but now the compilation fails:

I had the same issue as OP, and this fixed it for me. Unlike OP it compiles correctly now, even after a fully clean rebuild.
Given how deeply unhelpful the CMake error is in this case, it might make sense to add a message(FATAL_ERROR) somewhere in the JUCE cmake files to warn users that they have to include C in languages.
We've now added a check to the CMake build that will warn if the C language is not enabled:
