It depends on what the exception is. The exception used for the GCC
libraries avoids GPL infection for the programs that use those libraries
*and* discharges the user from the obligation of distributing source
code. LGPL only avoids GPL infection, you are still obliged to offer
source code to the people who obtain your binary (mentioning some
internet site is not enough) *and* your binary distribution must allow
replacing the LGPL'ed library with a version created by the user (this
usually is achieved by means of distributing the library as a DLL.)
