For OpenSSL, we consider that a system library, so the point is somewhat irrelevant in that case.
Of course, we should not let that dissuade people from porting to GnuTLS and rendering the question irrelevant for that reason instead :)
That's actually not true—you still need to invoke the system library exception for GPLv2-only programs because one of the dependencies, GMP, is LGPLv3+ in its current versions. Attempts to dual-license it under LPGLv3+ and GPLv2, like GNUTLS itself, have failed so far.
