Yes, but only if the LGPL parts are dynamically linked. The
LGPL with linking exception as used by Free Pascal and Lazarus
allows you to link the LGPL parts both statically and
dynamically.

The policy is that the compiler itself uses a strong copyleft
license, while the libraries use a commercially friendly weak
copyleft license.
