Well, not all of them! In the fpGUI project I use two libc functions for Linux which aren't available in the unixbase etc units. I did IFDEF that code, created an alternative for other platforms like FreeBSD and limited it to only one location in the code so as not to use it elsewhere. But yes, libc can be misleading to a unknown developer. I fell in that trap in the beginning when I didn't know it was Linux and x86 specific.
