You cannot build for TNS/E for FIPS, so you must specify the `no-fips` option to `./Configure`. +Linking and Loading Considerations +---------------------------------- + +Because of how the NonStop Common Runtime Environment (CRE) works, there are +restrictions on how programs can link and load with OpenSSL libraries. +On current NonStop platforms, programs cannot both statically link OpenSSL +libraries and dynamically load OpenSSL shared libraries concurrently. If this +is done, there is a high probability of encountering a SIGSEGV condition +relating to `atexit()` processing when a shared library is unloaded and when +the program terminates. This limitation applies to all OpenSSL shared library +components. + +A resolution to this situation is under investigation. + About Prefix and OpenSSLDir --------------------------- |
