Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported Windows build with perl Configure VC-WIN64A enable-fips enable-capieng --prefix=D:\opensslBuild\x64\dll --openssldir=D:\opensslBuild\openssldir no-shared and the /guard:cf flags. Identify which tests fail with those flags, compare them with the successful build without the flags, and consider the issue done when the non-shared FIPS build passes its tests with control flow guard enabled.

Description

branch: master help wanted triaged: feature

I am trying to create a non-shared fips enabled build with control flow guard enabled:

command used:
perl Configure VC-WIN64A enable-fips enable-capieng --prefix=D:\opensslBuild\x64\dll --openssldir=D:\opensslBuild\openssldir no-shared CFLAGS=/guard:cf LDFLAGS=/guard:cf LIB_CFLAGS=/guard:cf

This is failing with multiple test failures.

Without using CFLAGS=/guard:cf LDFLAGS=/guard:cf LIB_CFLAGS=/guard:cf , Build is successfuly created.
