But it gets worse than that: even fpc/delphi's bool is not always
compatible (but is sometimes).
For example:

When one must use Integers to do boolean related programming tasks, it
makes me want to quit programming ;)
The QueryServiceConfig2 is a known exception in WINAPI land that in
some
cases assumes things about what is TRUE.
The GTK headers also use a 0/1 boolean, and for that the boolean8/16/32
types were created. I couldn't quickly find docs, so I filed a bug for
that.
IOW that problem has long resolved, you just need to know what
convention
the C code uses, and map that then to either boolean32 or longbool (or
rarer
cases)
That's good news, does Delphi need to add a boolean8/16/32 some day, or
already has?
As I often switch between using fpc and delphi all the time, almost
50/50
