No.

"Recent versions of GNU tar expect a pair of zero blocks at the end of
the file by default. If GNU tar encounters a lone zero block, even at
the end, this is interpreted by GNU tar as a bad archive."
(from http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21270445)

if you use:

tar ixvfz openssl-fips-2.0.9.tar.gz

the problem goes away.
