It just can't be that simple, can it? Well, for *libgcc* I guess it can,
because there is no libgcc.la.  However, we also need similar
functionality for the other runtime libraries, but they DO have .la
files which throws a monkey wrench into the mix.

Still, IMO a partial solution is better than none...

P.S. Have you gotten an acknowledgment from the FSF that they have
received your completed paperwork?
