It seems like the FSF has at least funded the necessary rewriting: 

"The GNU Project supports GNU/Linux systems as well as the GNU
system. The FSF funded the rewriting of the Linux-related extensions to
the GNU C library, so that now they are well integrated, and the newest
GNU/Linux systems use the current library release with no changes."
