Whirlwind attack and multiple weapons

Considering Whirlwind attack: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/combat-feats/whirlwind-attack-combat---final

Say I have a character who uses a fauchard or other reach weapon, but does have a bite attack or an unarmed strike for nearby foes.

If I then use whirlwind attack... Can I make fauchard attacks at 10 feet and my close attack at 5 feet? I wouldn't know why not, but I'd rather be sure before I construct a build around it

It depends on your GM's interpretation of;

"When you use the Whirlwind Attack feat, you also forfeit any bonus or extra attacks granted by other feats, spells, or abilities."

That should clearly include Haste, Cleaving Finish, and the monk ability to spend ki to gain an extra attack... but what about natural weapons? I'd probably allow those as they'd be included in a full attack, but some GMs might not - especially if they are granted by a class ability.

It normally wouldn't be possible to make an unarmed strike while also full attacking with a fauchard even w/o Whirlwind Attack... so whether that would be possible WITH Whirlwind Attack would depend on how you are doing it in the first place.

Let's see what a ranger or slayer with faithful: sarenrae will get me
