If your code uses nothing from the library, there's nothing left to
discuss.
Once again, the GPL only prevents distribution if you're distributing a
program which included both GPLed code ("the library" in this context)
and incompatibly licensed code. The mechanics of how that would happen
are just a side issue.
I really don't see why we're discussing this at all.
