The argument would be that the resulting binary would be a derived work,
and you could either distribute it under the GPL, or not at all. If the
original project has a GPL incompatible license then you're stuck
with 'not at all'.

This is essentially the same case that's made for things linked to GPL
libraries as distinct from LGPL libraries.
