The changed library would either still be either under the GPL only, or under the GPL with the linking exception, at your choice. In either case, you would have to distribute/make source available to your changes to the library(ies) to propogate the changed libraries. This is relevant to the libraries only, however, and not the linked application, unless you chose to redistribute the libraries as GPL only. If the changes to the libraries are small, I would be happy to review and include them in the next release.
