My understanding is that when you link, you have to reproduce a part of
the source headers of the code to which you link ("#include ..." for
example).
And because you cannot introduce GPL code in a non-GPL-compatible
program, and cannot introduce non-GPL-compatible code in a GPL-licensed
program, you can't do it either way.
