Dear Mr. Henson,
I noticed that for OpenSSL 1.0.2x and 1.0.1x on Windows the FIPS capable libeay32.dll
does not export any of the FIPS_drbg_*() functions, although they are officially
documented by the OpenSSL FIPS 2.0 User Guide.
Is this an oversight or was this done on purpose? (IOW, is it a bug or a feature? ;-)
I checked the git repository and found out that the symbols are listed in util/libeay.num
on the master branch but are missing on the OpenSSL_1_0_2-stable and OpenSSL_1_0_1-stable
branch (see [1]).
In fact, the entire log of the OpenSSL_1_0_{1,2}-stable branch shows no indication that these
symbols were ever added to or removed from libeay.num (see [2]).
This is strange, because the symbols were initially added by you in the following commit,
where you state that symbol ordinals are in sync with the 1.0.1 stable branch.

Sync ordinals with 1.0.1-stable.
It would be nice if you could be so kind to shed some light on this to clear up my confusion.
Best regards,
MSP
