When the system is configured using libgcrypt in FIPS mode (by file or environement variable), but an application wants to use non-FIPS features, Libgcrypt needs to be gotten out of FIPS mode. A mechanism is provided to switch Libgcrypt into non-FIPS mode:
GCRYCTL_NO_FIPS_MODE. This must be done prior to any
initialization (i.e. before gcry_check_version).
