I don't think you can. Once you link some code licensed under the
LGPL with some other code licensed under the GPL, you must distribute
the result under the terms of the GPL. So it is not possible to avoid
the terms of the GPL by simply inserting an interface covered by the
LGPL between non-free code and code covered by the GPL.
