That doesn't work from a legal POV. If the library has some source files that
are GPLv2+ licensed, then the library as a whole can't be considered to be
under the LGPLv2.1+ from POV of an application linking to it.
Any GPLv2+ code would have to be stripped or relicensed to be able to call
the library LGPLv2.1+
