No, no they don't...
If I were willing to supply my object files (compiled code) for you to
link the LGPL library to, you would be able to modify the library and
relink it with my object files.

Granted, most firms will be rather hesitant to offer object files, but I
do believe this is an LGPL-compatible option.

Kind regards,

Jeroen
