Well this in untested...
The fipsld script embeds the signature in fips_premain.c by setting the
preprocessor symbol HMAC_SHA1_SIG. The normal format we have is
"<40 hex digits>" which ends up with 40 characters and the extra null.
If you modify that to an alternative format such as...
{'a','0','c',...}
with exactly 40 characters it should work.
