Stable ABI glibc: yes
Haha, funny.

This comparison chart is 10 years old. It might still be correct on some points, but probably outdated on others. Plus it lacks libc provided by the LLVM/Clang project.
Most Linux distros use glibc, Void and Alpine use musl iirc, and Gentoo give you the choice of your C library during installation. And those libraries are not ABI compatible, meaning you can't use an app compiled with musl on a glibc system, and vice-versa. Afaik, musl is really interesting on embedded system, due to its small size.
Also, OP, what's your point ?

No point, just found it interesting to share

Uh, you robbed old things. Relevant how?

void gives a choice of musl and glibc where both are equally supported. im not sure musl on gentoo is really recommended by its wiki.
