Perhaps, but that doesn't provide the abstraction needed to decouple
the os from the source.

I tend to agree with that, but a standard C library abstraction layer
and header files would allow a lot of unix related (note: not 
necessarily linux) open source to build far more easily.

Starting to see a lot more apps in Java now, so that would be useful
to have as well, if not already done...
