I spent 5 years writing my own operating system
It's certainly plausible
It's currently using wcc to compile the kernel https://github.com/wandwramp/wcc. We can swap it with gcc for sure, but require a lot of work, especially the output format and backend.
Winix uses a simple header for binaries, https://github.com/halfer53/winix/blob/master/include/winix/..., so we would need to tweak gcc to support this header format and =add backend support for WRAMP architecture.
ELF is quite complicated, if I have to do this, I probably just copy some codes to linux.

What are your favorite YouTube channels for the languages you speak?
For Spanish you could read the undergraduate operating-systems textbooks by Francisco Ballesteros. There's one for Plan 9 and one for Unix. At a macro level they're basically the same book. PDF of the Unix one: https://github.com/fjballest/docs/blob/master/uxintro.pdf
