What are you talking about? Of course BSD3 libraries/applications can depend on GPL'd code.
Not being a lawyer, I'll avoid claiming any definitive answers, and just mention that that's definitely a minority opinion, and at odds with the interpretation given by the FSF.
Please cite where the FSF claims the GPL applies to unrelated works just because they can compile against GPL'd code. Keep in mind that if your claim is correct, then every significant Linux and BSD distro is committing massive copyright infringement.
