Hi,

I'm currently trying to cross compile openssl-fips-1.2 for arm-linux on a x86 host. This does abort at a certain point. The problem has been already reported and solutions are provided. See here:

http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg59904.html

I have not tried the solutions yet but my question is: If I do so - is the resulting module still FIPS compliant? The according SecurityPolicy document contains the statement:

  "Note that failure to use one of the specified commands sets exactly
   as shown will result in a module that cannot be considered compliant
   with FIPS 140-2."

So my current assumption is that we probably could build the module but you can't actually call it FIPS compliant anymore which makes it rather useless. Is this correct?

greets,
ron
