I don't think is an issue because all the gkermit provided symbols are

Indeed, I think it can be argued that crunch is really just a compression format that facilitates distribution on small media, and including gkermit does not impact the functionality of the other programs that are crunched in any way, nor is gkermit extended by the other crunched programs, and so the crunched binary can therefore not be considered a derivative work.

Of course, IANAL.
