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:

https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commit;h=eb04c21373e2a2885f3d52ff192b0499afe3c672

Come to think of it, we should update config/srclist.txt accordingly; I'll do 
that shortly.

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.
