This makes no sense. If you were using the OpenSSL FIPS Object Module
(certificate #1747), then the OpenSSL version is irrelevant to that FIPS
validation (OpenSSL proper is out of scope).

If you've gone to a test lab and obtained some sort of private
validation based on OpenSSL code, then you need to consult with that lab.
