I believe that one of the ways would be compiling lgpled_lib.pas into a shared library/DLL and having it linked to your program dynamically, another solution would be providing interested users with all the required object files (*.o), libraries (.a) and a linker script. The linker script is created and preserved if compiling with -s parameter, all the required .o and .a files are listed in that script.
