FFF.

If you've got GPS use the altitude it shows.
If you have really lost static and alt and breaking glass have failed, you are in difficulty anyway and a few hundred feet error, if that, is a lot better than knowing nothing at all.

Assuming the static pressure failure compounded by engine out is not also accompanied by radio failure, your GPS altitude should be sufficient for ATC in the circumstances to vector you onto an ILS.
