Now you are getting into the nitty gritty of LGPL wording and implementation, at that point, it becomes more about working with the copyright holder to ensure you are complying with the intended spirit of the license, or engaging a lawyer to get him to sign off on a willingness to defend the implementation in courtroom.
I know a lot of people denigrate the LGPL without enough information, but to me, this is the real issue with the LGPL as it stands. There remains too much grey area.
That said, I’m with Jens. an embedded .dylib meets the letter of the LGPL. IIRC, the question of static linking against a .a has also been upheld, so long as application provides value above the library, and the app could function (albeit with lesser functionality) if built without the library.
