Sorry, that is not correct.  Here is the function's prototype:

  void _gcry_initialize_fips_mode (int force)

as you can see that function _cannot_ return any error code.  I already
explained that you can't assume that an arbitrary library like Libgcrypt
makes any guarantee not to change the ERRNO of the thread.  In fact
there is no guarantee for that for many libc function's either.


Salam-Shalom,
