Looking again, I see that AES/3DES/SHA1/SHA2/RSA/DSA/RNG in libgcrypt
have been FIPS certified.  Follow links from:

http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cavp/validation.html

Still, older TLS does not use standard RSA PKCS#1 so you have to make
sure GnuTLS is really using the right crypto bits from libgcrypt.
