I use Alpine Linux quite a bit, which is a Linux distro that doesn't use the GNU coreutils or glibc.
Also even giving GNU such a high level in the name on a distro like Arch makes little sense imo because other components like systemd are arguably much more important than one of many libc libraries you can optionally use and a bunch of coreutils you can also optionally use.
So it should be the some other components which don't make Android a 'real' Linux according to some definition.
Personally I agree, that the Linux kernel makes a system a Linux system. However, the choice of a specific C library is important as it ensures some kind of binary compatibility between distributions, i.e. download a generic 'GNU/Linux' binary and run it is possible.
I use Debian btw. ;-)
