SIZEOF_LONG 4 instead of 8 in 64-bits

Yes.

Take the Ubuntu source code.  Change the Ubuntu ABI.  Call your new OS
something else, such as Kraiser GNU/Linux.

Applications compiled on Kraiser GNU/Linux will then have your OS's ABI
which would have 32-bit sized long.

Executables compiled for Kraiser GNU/Linux will not run on Ubuntu.

(I've done something similar, back in the day when I was playing around with
Mandrake 6.1 "helios" Linux.  I never released my "Eljay GNU/Linux" to the
public, nor intended to.  It was just for fun and learning, and never
escaped the dark confines of my basement.  There will be bugs.)

Ubuntu's ABI is different from Windows' ABI.

That's not a GCC-ism.  It's the OS ABI-ism.
