The problem with the GPL for libraries is, that you don't have the freedom to use another license than GPL for your externals for example a BSD license.
This is simply not true. According to the GPL-FAQ at fsf.org, if you are using libraries licensed under the GPL, you must use a GPL-compatible license to use those libraries in your on software. The (modified) BSD license is compatible with the GPL.
Compatible here "means you can combine a module which was released under that license with a GPL-covered module to make one larger program."
