not neccessarily linked to an LGPL'd library though surely. Just because
you build a static binary on a mandrake machine, it doesn't mean you are
compiling against LGPL's libraries. I don't know who wrote the files
cblobfld.cpp etc, do you? seems to me the directory "mdk90" may be
descriptive of nothing in particular, simply a directory name the author
used because his machine is a mandrake machine, or perhaps its nfs
mounted on a mandrake 90 box. What is noticeable is that the filesnames
are in a sub-directory of fcc/src, and I would have thought that might
indicate that the files were within the developers own source tree.

In other words there seems to be nothing in what you posted to support
the view that the binary is linked against LGPL software!
