The program as you distribute it does not contain a copy
of the dynamic library integrated into it, so it is not
relevant that the library is used when the program runs.
Since copyright restricts only the copying and distribution
of covered works, you may distribute your program under the
terms of the GPL even if it dynamically links to non-free
libraries when executed. The system library exemption of the
GPL never comes into play.
