Not so, camel breath!  (Sorry; too much Carnac the Magnificent, I guess
8-).)

Stallman et al have taken the stance that the above method still requires
you to distribute your source code.  Since your code was designed to work
with the GNU code, and *only* the GNU code, then it must fall under the
copyleft.

Also, rms has stated that a program which mereley includes a *header file*
from the libg++ stuff falls under the copyleft.

Legally, the FSF may have something to stand upon.  Morally, they are
leaches.
