Look at say Win32 API. There is a way to reroute most of things you 
listed directly to it. I actually do this kind of stuff in my spare 
time. Of course your own kernel has some manner of system calls too.

If you can't figure it out on your own, chances are you won't be able to 
do what you wanted in the first place (e.g. real-time micro-kernel).
I mean it's nothing magical, all of these things are present in say MS C 
compiler and people do these things with it just _fine_.

Yeah, I understand how it could be frustrating, but once you are on this 
kind of level you usually already running circles around all of this stuff.
That being said the info won't hurt of course.
