from ocaml/LICENSE:

Public License version 2 (included below).

3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public

Sorry, I don't understand the problem.

And, you don't even have to make this exception to use a LGPL library with
a GPL program. You can also include libraries using many other licenses as
well. The FSF has a fairly exhaustive list of licenses that are both
compatible and incompatible with the GPL. Their site seems to be down
right now, so I can't grab a URL, but it isn't that difficult to find from
<http://www.fsf.org/>
Usually the reason another license is incompatible with the GPL is because
it contains something more restrictive than the GPL.
