[openssl-users] Building OpenSSL with FIPS crypto Module Linker forking too many processes

[OpenSSL Curious]

REPOSTING TO PUSH TO OFFICIAL GROUP
I was wondering if someone has seen this issue before. I am guessing the
problem is on my side because  can replicate it on Debian 8 and Ubuntu 14.4. 

I am using OpenSSL 1.0.2a and the crypto module from OpenSSL ecp 2.0.9 

env settings 
CC=/home/myssluser/workspace/libs/openssl-fips-ecp-2.0.9/fips/fipsld 
FIPSLD_CC=/usr/bin/gcc 
FIPSDIR=/usr/local/ssl/fips-2.0 

for building fips canister 
./config fipscanisterbuild no-asm 
make 
make install 

using ./config fips no-asm 
make 
make install 

This seemed to be pretty straight forward. I think i created the
fipscanister.o correctly. Everything compiled and linked for the canister. I
liked it to a small test app that worked. 

I then tried to build openssl, it fine but on the last linking step the
linker just keep forking processes out of control on both OSs until i got a
message that the linker cannot fork any new processes. Any pointers would be
appreciated.
