It's awfully hard to investigate a problem or find workarounds for a problem when the only description you have is "it failed to build successfully". Perhaps I could find a way to avoid the modifications you needed, except you don't tell me what they are. Do you just like making people do extra work in order to help you? Yes, I could get to my amd64 Win32 machine, try the build process a few different ways, see what errors I get, then look for workarounds for them. But you've already done the first two steps, and making me redo them in order to help you seems like a complete waste of my time. If you're developing a real application that requires FIPS compliance, surely spending an extra five minutes describing the actual problems you had, rather than making people guess and possibly solving problems other than the ones you are actually facing, would be a productive use of your time.
