At the time Linux was created the were several other suitable compilers, the original Linux C library was not glibc and the original kernel license was not GPL. UZI didn't use any GNU tools in its base either, nor OMU. So not only was it possible, it had been done. Android doesn't use glibc either. The FSF did some very important things - codifying what was already practise, figuring out how to stop abuse of that practise and having a grand vision of what all the pieces could mean.
