I think I have figured out the heart of the issue - perhaps the key to
all the issues you have with C.  It is merely a matter of terminology.

When you talk about C, or Linux, having a "problem", what you really
mean is that /you/ have to do some work - it takes time, effort,
thought, and learning.

Let's try replacing "a problem" in what you write with "some work I have
to do", and see how that changes things:

"Any 'yes' answers would indicate that there /is/ some work I have to do".

There, that makes more sense.  And I agree with you 100%.  When you are
making a language translator to C, you have to do some work.  When you
are translating from your source languages types to types in C which do
not match the same sizes or semantics, you have to do some work.  When
you want to write wrappers to call external C functions from your own
language, you have to do some work.  When you want to translate between
your source language types and the types of a different language, you
have to do some work.  When you want to understand the functions you are
calling, or the types used, you have to do some work.

There is no /problem/ - certainly not with C or Linux.  There is merely
work that /you/ have to do if you want to use C as the output of your
language translator or to interact with functions specified in C.
