As others have indicated, you will have no issues with setting the IM role holder DCs 
as GCs.

For a really good article that explains why, have a look at:

Here's another article which covers GC placement generally:

Hello,
 
I have multiple AD domains and I currently have all DC's in my domains
configured as Global Catalogs except for 1 in Each domain and it holds the
Infrastructure Master role.  I am considering making these servers a GC as
well.  Can anyone give me some feedback on if this would be good/bad or
issues that may be caused by doing this?  Anyone have experience running
with All GC's?
 
The reason I'm considering this is that the site where this DC lives
currently has multiple DC's but the one configured as the GC is being
removed from this site leaving no GC coverage.
 
I'm not concerned with bandwidth or additional replication traffic needed
for the GC.
 
I have read this:

Thank you,
