Hi Kevin,

I encountered this problem when compiling the 1.2.3 FIPS object module some 
time ago, with exactly the same compiler. After some experimentation I managed 
to get it to embed the fingerprint correctly using the following compiler 
options:

-fno-common -fdata-sections -ffunction-sections

I also needed to change the INCORE_ADJUST setting to an 8 byte offset for my 
processor as follows:

diff --git a/current/appfs/openssl-fips/incore 
b/current/appfs/openssl-fips/incore
index 07df989..61f68b9

I'm not really an expert in this area, but it worked for me, so give it a try.

I am building a cross-compiled FIPS-capable libcrypto.so with the 1.0.1beta
OpenSSL and 2.0 FIPS Object Module.

The build is being done on a linux (CentOS) host for a PowerPC target running
netbsd 1.6.2 (yes, I know, its old).

gcc being used:
$ ${CROSS_COMPILE}gcc -v
gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release) (NetBSD nb3)
(yes, I know, also old)

I can successfully build fipscontainer.o, and then build fips_algvs, which
runs successfuly on the target system. This made me think that the
fingerprint was working correctly... 

Later (when building libcrypto.so) I realized I was using the native incore 
script instead of the cross-compile incore script. I switched to the 
cross-compile incore script, but that failed to embed a fingerprint in
the (FIPS-capable) libcrypto.so.
