That is a strawman argument.  That way, you can declare all libraries
"system libraries", and suddenly you can link GPL binaries with any
amount of non-free code.

Why would a pure userspace library that is not even part of any
language standard be a "system library"?  It's just some user-space
utility library, like any other.  GnuTLS is not "system" either, nor
is NSS.  None of these provide access to the operating system.

SSH port forwarding is being used by many people already to access MPD
securely.
