That's a tough question, but: the intent of the LGPL is
to allow people to fix bugs in software they use.  If you
provide a way for people to replace the libgcrypt
in your system with one that they provide themselves,
that might satisfy the dynamic linking requirement.
But don't trust what I say, I am not a lawyer.
