Embedded systems may use considerably less GNU bits than we're used to in a general purpose distribution: dietlibc/uClibc, busybox etc. You can even compile the kernel with a non-GCC compiler if you really want to. Going back in time, prior to glibc 2.0's widespread adoption by distros, most used a Linux-specific glibc fork named Linux libc that was maintained outside the GNU project. For general purpose use on modern systems though the GNU components tend to make much more sense than the alternatives.
