So, I am trying to create a shared object to implement some functionality in libpam. It has dependencies on a number of dynamic objects, but I am trying to include statically linked copies of libcrypto and libssl. These are coming from a FIPS capable version of OpenSSL (1.0.1)built and tested with a FIPS canister (2.0.9) that I created using the instructions in the Security Policy / User Guide. This is in Debian Linux, using gcc. I've created standalone executables this way, but cannot get past the fipsld link step while creating a shared object. After the first link (which succeeds just fine), when fipsld tries to execute the DSO, there is a segmentation violation: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x000055555561d1b9 in do_drbg_init () (gdb) where #0 0x000055555561d1b9 in do_drbg_init () #1 0x00005555555da14e in do_drbg_instantiate () The Makefile looks like this: # make CC=/usr/local/ssl/fips-2.0/bin/fipsld FIPSLD_CC=gcc INSTALL=/usr/bin/install CC=/usr/local/ssl/fips-2.0/bin/fipsld FIPSLD_CC=gcc DEBUG=-ggdb -DDEBUG_FINGERPRINT_PREMAIN LIB = -L/usr/local/ssl/lib LIBS = -lpam -lcrypt -lstdc++ -ldl #LIBS = -lpam -lcrypt -lstdc++ -ldl /usr/local/ssl/fips-2.0/lib/fipscanister.o INC = -I /usr/local/ssl/include -I ../../..
