The difference is an implementation detail, and so depending on it for 
legal purposes is a stretch. However, as far as *we're* concerned, I 
don't think there's a problem - everything we ship would be fine with 
GPLv3, and any additional combinations occur at the user's end. Upstream 
may care due to distributions with different policies, but I don't know 
that that's a discussion we need to have here.
