Embedded Linux >> GPLed macros etc

I know that the GPL is "sticky" for statically linked modules.

So it is considered not to apply to prorams that are just run on the Linux
kernel and use the dynamic libraries.

Moreover there is a "lesser GPL" that allows for non open source Kernel
modules.

But when compiling any C source code I need to use macros in .H files and
the linker includes some code from static libraries that come with the OS.

What license is defined for these file ?
