Yes.
From the ChangeLog.1 of glibc:
Tue Dec 31 03:38:30 1991 Richard Stallman (rms at mole.gnu.ai.mit.edu)
Seems like he was involved _very_ originally :)
Actually most of glibc was originally written by Roland McGrath, who was
paid by the FSF to do it, AFAIK.
From http://www.gnu.org/gnu/the-gnu-project.html :
"Free Software Foundation employees have written and maintained a number
of GNU software packages. Two notable ones are the C library and the
shell. The GNU C library is what every program running on a GNU/Linux
system uses to communicate with Linux. It was developed by a member of
the Free Software Foundation staff, Roland McGrath."
