As far as I understand it, it would be completely allowed to put an exception in your library code to allow linking to a specific binary, just as it is (according to the FSF) not allowed to link a GPL binary to a non-GPL-compatible library if there is no exception. Thing is, who would write an exception in the license of a library only for a binary? It can happen of course, but it doesn't sound like something that happens a lot.
