Assuming you are in the US, that is not true.  These restrictions have
been dropped several years ago.  Except for some banned countries.

I doubt that.  rc2 is not different from the other ciphers.

Yhjis is CAST5.  There might be a bug in the configure code.  Check
whether USE_CAST5 is defined in config.h - it should not be defined with
your configure options.

Best would be to 

  grep USE_ config.h 

to see what features are actually included.
