How much GNU is there in GNU/Linux?
There are viable alternatives. Debian for instance uses eglibc, which is LGPL but AFAIK not part of GNU. The BSDs use their own libc as well.

Protip: eglibc is a fork of glibc, considers glibc an upstream, and communicates patches with glibc, requiring copyright reassignment for contributed code. This makes them roughly as GNU as glibc itself, which is maintained by a Redhat employee.
