Many units in Free Pascal and Delphi uses C libraries... when aren't using

consume some low-level code written in C or assembly.
There is a simple reason:
Debugging and bugfixing is a lot easier if all the code is in pascal.
Most libraries are a black box.
I don't think I've purchased a library/package that didn't contain bugs,
which I had to debug manually and fix.
Old timers as X, libc, pthreads and more such oldtimers will generally be
bug-free, but there is lots of code out there with a less good track record.
