There are only two criteria you need to be able to develop an OS in a given language:
- Can you call your language from assembler?
- Can you call assembler from your language?
Once those two are taken care of, everything else is a nice-to-have. I don't see a way to disable name mangling for specific functions, but maybe there are attributes or so for that purpose.
