> If you ship alongside your binary a bundle of eg .o files and a script that links them together with a .a for the LGPL part for example, this is also compliant without revealing the source code to your non-lgpl part.

This is super clever, I love it! Does any software actually do this?

Yes. For instance some Cisco app on iOS that uses gstreamer (LGPL) does exactly this.
