Since we are on a very tight schedule to migrate to

But before we can roll out this compiler, we need to
have some written statement from FSF that says it's
legally safe to link with these libraries even with
those problematic files. Who should I contact for such
a statement?

The FSF (fsf.org), they own the code. They are the only ones that I know of that can make a determination.
