Depends on what one thinks is a problem and what not, but FWIW I definitely 
consider it a problem.  Due to GPL's viral nature, I'm fairly certain that the 
end result of linking something licensed using the above is a combined work 
which is either GPL'd, or a violation of the GPL or the original (MIT, BSD 
etc) license.
