Helps needed regarding the error "fingerprint does not match:fips.c:232:"

Actually it looks like when I ran the tests using the OpenSSL FIPS library
which I built using Ubuntu build script, the content of FIPS_SIGNATURE
seemed to be empty.

Can anyone tell me how was the value of sig and FIPS_SIGNATURE (near fips.c
line 222) was computed and assigned?

Thanks.
