I think it is a huge exaggeration to rule out all of that. I think
that most of this stuff from basic language or system unit should work
just fine. Indeed some might not work, but most should work.

If you use the unit cmem (or even better if you make your own memory
manager that redirects to the C side), I don't see why
object/class/string/dynamic arrays should fail, when used internally
in the Pascal side.

try...except will probably indeed not work, because C often uses a
different exception mask than FPC or something like that.

I didn't try it myself recently, but instead of going bare-bones I
would rule out stuff that fails when they fail, not beforehand suppose
they won't work.
