For instance, I don't think that porting the Linux kernel (or the FreeBSD one) to such an

Well it doesnt' surprise me too much that GNU/Linux has non-standard stuff in it 

And GTK wants nearly all pointers to be gpointer-s, and may cast them to function
pointers internally.

But GTK surprises me more. I guess the C world always surprises me in the extent to which people ignore the standard :-)
