GF matza squares aren’t what I had in mind. If you know anyone on the Paleo diet, or anyone who eats GF bread made by Udi’s or Katz’s, you know what I am talking about. An actual loaf of sliced bread that you can eat sandwiches on, and tat generally can be used like bread. The GF breads don’t currently have a KFP hashgacha (although Rav Abadi says that Udi’s bread is fine for Passover); the issue could be that they use kitniyot derivatives (there are no actual kitniyot in them, since R’ Abadi says that Ashkenazim could eat it). Cross-contamination with hametz couldn’t be much of a concern, since the company would lose its credibility among celiac sufferers and would be subjected to lawsuits galore. (Recall that for many Sephardim, they hold that there is bitul hametz before Pesach, even le chatchila, and that they aren’t concerned; I just don’t have the industrial knowledge to know what it is in that GF bread that causes it not to be KFP).
