Well then it should be called <some old UNIX brand>/GNU/Linux, since without <some old UNIX brand> gcc, glibc and gdb would have never been possible to begin with!
Or perhaps WINE should be called Microsoft/WINE, since without MS Windows, WINE would not exist.
I think the argument does not make any sense at all.

One difference is that RMS's initial use of whatever system while writing GNU software was only as a temporary bootstrap, and it could have been any system (different developers surely used different systems - some Unix, some not).
GNU/Linux and the GNU development tools are developed by groups that communicate and collaborate to help each other. The GNU development tools are part of what makes GNU/Linux development continue.
