Hi Stephen,

thank you very much! The snapshot build compiles without these warnings.

The cause is OpenSSL doing some things which gcc 4.2 doesn't like. These have

Subsequent validations will address this issue.

However... the validated source is only needed to build fipscanister.o and
none of those warnings affect that.

So you can use a new FIPS capable OpenSSL and link it against the test 1.2
module.

For example download:

ftp://ftp.openssl.org/snapshot/openssl-0.9.8-stable-SNAP-20080709.tar.gz

and build shared libraries using that.
