Do you want to distribute binaries (.class files) of the program B? If not, you may license your sources in any license you want. If yes, then it will be possible only if the library G has a linking exception in its license [1], as the clojure itself is EPL so it does not matter how the library A is licensed. Without linking exception you cannot distribute the combined work from EPL and GPL sources [2] [3].
