Hi Nick,

Thanks for your response.
I've recompiled Tor with --disable-linker-hardening and --disable-gcc-hardening but I still get the warning regarding tls support.

It could be that Debian FIPS' version of OpenSSL 1.0.1c is causing this problem.
But it was only "mipsel" patch for OpenSSL 1.0.1c I could find.

I'll try the stable build of Tor and report back.

Hm. Just to rule something out that got added in 0.2.3.17-beta: could
you try configuring Tor with --disable-compiler-hardening and
--disable-linker-hardening, and see if that makes a difference?
