To be frank, many of the GNU extensions are very useful. BSD tools have their own extensions over POSIX as well. Anyway, GNU software is FOSS and tends to be portable and so you can create something like GNU/FreeBSD or GNU/OpenBSD or whatever (Debian did it in the past). Naturally, the GPL/LGPL/etc. may not be "free" enough for the tastes of the BSD devs, but this is getting into politics.
