Thank you Dr. Henson for your prompt responding. We figured out. The latest minGW/gcc 3.4.5 generated fipscanister.o causes MSVC linkers crash when make libeay32.dll though the static library and .exe linked with it are fine. However, the fipscanister.o generated by mingGW/gcc 3.4.2 does not crash MSVC when build libeay32.dll. gcc 3.4.2 is the version mentioned in FIPS User Guide.
I am impressed by openssl knowledge sharing. This is much quicker than MSDN support.

The minGW/gcc objects (fipscanister.o, etc.) crashes MSVC 6.x and 8.x linkers. MSVC 9.0 is able to build the dll, but it is not a valid dll and cannot be loaded by premain_dso. > Is it possible to make libeay32.dll with MSVC? if yeas, how? > Make sure you are using a newer version of gcc. Some older versions cause problems, I've never seen the linker crash but I have seen random and apparently arbitrary application crashes. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N. Henson.
