Sure, but Gnulib isn't limited to glibc functionallity; it also does functionality standardized (or probably-will-be- standardized) by POSIX but not yet in glibc, functionality needed to support other LGPLed libraries that are part of the GNU project, minor extensions to glibc functionality for platforms that glibc does not support, functionality widely available in other (non-GNU) library implementations, and so forth.
