Do code syncs from glibc to gnulib happen on new glibc releases?
It depends. Some of Gnulib syncs soon after a commit to glibc master. Other
parts of Gnulib sync more lackadasically. Glibc release boundaries don't matter
much.
Conversely, sometimes Glibc syncs files from Gnulib. Though this is rarer, it
happened a couple of days ago:

Come to think of it, we should update config/srclist.txt accordingly; I'll do
that shortly.
If they do, then my chick-and-egg problem remains
I don't quite know what you mean by chicken-and-egg problem, but it sounds like
we don't have the sort of blockage that you're worried about.
