So a group of gloomspite fanatics charges into an arkanaut ironclad The rules for the bomb rack active on the charge while the rule for whirling death applies to combat. That leads me to think that the drills take precedence over my git's combat rule.

From a quick reading of both their rules I would say that the bombracks would go first as it reads to me as this actually happens in the charge phase and not the combat phase. As it's says "if an enemy unit ends a charge..."
So the drills make the the fanatics fight last but the Fanatics ability lets them fight first. Anything like this where fight first/fight last applies cancel out (to my knowledge).
The detention drills just cancel out any fight first abilities. Initial response was about the D3 mortal wounds.

I think it just cancels the Fanatic ability, but who knows for sure, it's a whole mess.
Edit; it could go either way but I think the Ironclad really needs designer commentary to verify the text doesn't need to be updated to say "fight in the end phase". There are effectively contradictory errata rulings that would apply here
