Yes, but of course it would link with their libraries since it uses
their standard functions (i.e. even 'printf' is part of a GNU library
with GCC).

What are the 'three alternatives' ?

The header files were what had me confused.  The LGPL seems to
indicate that linking is OK but then goes through a whole diatribe on
header files which muddles the issue just when it was becoming clear
in the document again! -GP
