If I understand it correctly it is not much an issue for the application
but it might become an issue when a GPL library is linked to the
application which itself is linked to a closed source library.

I think there is no difference how the GPL portions of the code is organised.
The exception in the GPL just says that you can disregard anything that comes
with your operating system and for everything else source code must be available
under GPL terms (not necessarily == GPL license).
However I do not think that licensing is really a problem here since all
partys would accept the terms of the GPL even if linking to a closed
source component is neccessary here.
Also true, so my point seems a bit academic here, sorry.
