I'm looking for a good collection of libraries for ANSI-C, stuff for handling vectors, hash maps, binary tress, string processing, etc.
Try glib? It's used by GTK+, but it can also be used on other platforms. You can also try Apache APR, which is used by the Apache web server and some of their other C components, or NSPR, which is used by Mozilla projects in C.
gnu's glib collection. furthermore, it's portable for many platforms.
You might also find this question useful:
Container Class / Library for C
As well, this book might be interesting:
Mastering Algorithms with C
The full source code is on the CD and it has code for most of those data structures and algorithms.
check also gnulib's data structures. This library also provides many other features as well as portable layer to ANSI/non-ANSI compilers and POSIX/non-POSIX systems.

GLUT OpenGL I can recommend for very flexible C (graphics) development

Wikipedia says that "Newlib is a C standard library implementation intended for use on embedded systems". OK, but where can I find the latest canon version of it? i.e the correct true complete version.
Also, what other libraries exist for C language? Could you give me the ISO numbers for them?
I am trying to understand what library types/versions exist for C language so I know what they mean when I come across them in the future.
I would expected C standard library to be called just C standard library but that is not used and these different names like newlib do not seem very easy to decipher.
It is one of many implementations of the standard C library. Here are some other implementations:
http://www.musl-libc.org/
https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/
This is a fine comparison of 4 different implementations. It might be easier for you to understand why people create their own implementations: http://www.etalabs.net/compare_libcs.html
They differ in speed, compilation time, supported architectures, number of lines of code in the code base, compatibility with the standard, license and so on.
Python, for example, has various different implementations as well - see this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/17130986/4694621.

I program mostly in C while studying at university. I was wondering if there is some simple open-source library that would let me make a GUI for a program in C.
Things to concider by priority:
Simple
Nice-looking
Features
I don't know how to program in C++ and would prefer to stay in pure C.
i would highly recommend Glade + GTK.
i use it in combination with python, and it works quite well.
it's also very simple to use.
here is an example:
http://people.gnome.org/~newren/tutorials/developing-with-gnome/html/apc.html#libglade-example-1
hope that helps!
EDIT:
here is a more extensive tutorial:
http://www.micahcarrick.com/gtk-glade-tutorial-part-1.html
However, notice that it might be difficult to write GUI code in C which runs on many different systems (e.g. on Linux, MacOSX, Android, and Windows). Gtk claim to have such a goal, but I don't know if it fully reached.

There are several C libraries available for parsing JSON, that will compile on Linux. Which library would you recommend?
Just to close the loop:
For the project in question, we ended up going with cJSON. We chose this one from the list of C libraries linked from json.org. Per the homepage, cJSON is:
An ultra-lightweight, portable, single-file, simple-as-can-be ANSI-C compliant JSON parser, under MIT license.
This happened to be a good fit for the particular project at hand, and the library worked out fine.
I've seen YAJL used with MGTwitterEngine (Mac/Cocoa), so I assume it is ok.
I haven't done much with it apart from compiling it and pointing MGTwitterEngine on Mac to its library/header files.
Check out the list at json.org. There are several C libraries for JSON.

Anyone know of a good statistics library for C? I'm looking for something that is commonly used and not a small project. EDIT: must be free!
gsl (http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/) is widely available, portable, and has a lot of nice functionality.
Statistics are frequently done in other languages, but some of those languages will be callable from C. I'd recommend looking at R and Octave; the latter is an open source Matlab work-alike. Both are programming languages in their own right, but many other languages can be called from C.
In my opinion, MATLAB is a very good choice you can use for that. Here is an article on how to call MATLAB from C.
It ain't cheap. But you did not specify anything about the library being cheap or free. Plus, you are mentioning it's a big project.... :-)

Are there any Binary Decision Diagram (BDD) libraries for C, or other languages that are tested and have good documentation?
Check the BDD library from CMU.
Also, for basic reference purposes, Pre-Fascicle 1b of The Art of Computer Programming is all about BDDs. Here's a gzipped postscript of it. Knuth has posted a number of the programs he wrote while preparing for it on his Programs to Read page.
Check out CUDD.
For some info on how to set it up in Windows environments try this..
Binary decision diagram Wikipedia entry, in External links section, as a quite complete list of packages.
BDDBDDB is a BDD-based system for resolving logical inferences a la Prolog. It's been used in program analysis, general game playing, and many other domains. It might not be exactly what you're looking for, but it's well-known and well-maintained.
