As others have pointed out, LGPL basically requires that the end user is
able to replace the LGPL'd parts themselves.

In practice, the most common method is to link the LGPL's parts dynamically.

The way we did this at a previous job was to bundle libgmp.so with our
application.  A wrapper shell script around our executables set up
LD_LIBRARY_PATH to ensure the correct libgmp gets loaded.

It's was a bit of a hassle, but got the job done.
