For what it may be worth, newlib is often used in embedded systems for
the C runtime library. The sources may be found here:

  ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/newlib/newlib-1.13.0.tar.gz

It has many of those functions under licenses that should be compatible
with the LGPL.

So, if it is not possible to convert the needed GNULIB packages into
something compatible with your LGPL requirements, it may be possible to
adapt the newlib implementations for this purpose.

For what it is worth, I would hope that most of the GNULIB functions
could eventually be under either GPL or LGPL...
