Is this a reference to CVS HEAD? If so that is currently under development and
since it has not been put through testing is not "compliant".

The actual build process will be very tightly controlled and so using such
options as no-dsa, no-ecdsa etc will violate the security policy unless a
platform sponsor wants those specific options included as a separate
"platform".
