Both binutils and GCC had support for generic ARM in pre-Linux days.  You 
should be able to trace the history of these early contributions from the 
ChangeLog files in the respective packages.

I don't believe there is much or any commonality there.  The Linux C library 
has always been derived from the GNU libc -- Linux libc4 was based on GNU libc 
1.x.  As far as I know NetBSD's libc is a completely independent effort.
