No, there was a FOSS libc that was specifically intended to be compiled
with a cross compiler and used under ibcs.

At 1995, I spent a long time on porting a complex application written
in Lucid CommonLisp from Ultrix to the SCO version of it running under
ibcs. This libc wasn't good enough, and I spent a long time compiling
parts of glibc and loading them into the lisp runtime.
