As you can see, just the demo code with FIPS enabled. Without FIPS, my output is:</p>

With FIPS, compilation goes fine, but generates the following when run:</p>

I've tried both as a C project, and as a C++ project, pointing the CC env variable at both the fipsld script, and the modified fipsld++ from the wiki script as appropriate. My FIPSLD_CC variable points to gcc as noted in the FIPS documentation.</p>
