Well, that's good news ...
I just opened the README.FIPS myself, and was looking at the Windows
build process and came across this:

"With this version the use of MinGW is unnecessary and the normal VC++
build procedure can be followed *except* the GNU linker "ld.exe"
(for example from MinGW) must be accessible somewhere on the PATH."

Does that mean there is no support for Windows x64 (amd64, 64bit)
since there is no 64bit GNU ld.exe available from MinGW? (I think
some patches are floating around though).  I take it there is
no way to use Microsoft's Linker for whatever is being done in
the build process? Or is it simply that no one was familiar enough
with Microsoft's Linker to port that portion of the FIPS build process?

Thanks.
