Wei:

My current guess is that if all you are trying to do is get an openssl utility 
that is FIPS
certified, then doing 
   ./config fips
   make 
   make install
from inside the top level directory of openssl-fips-1.1.1 is all that is 
required.

If you want an openssl utility of a more recent 0.9.7 version that the one 
fips-1.1.1 is based on,
then you would have to do a two pass build as you outlined using one of the 
0.9.7 snapshots.

Is that correct everyone?
