[stunnel-users] Compiling with ./configure --enable-fips option

I am having a problem with compiling with fips enable mode on. The default is suppose to fips enabled but when the configure runs with no options it states that fips is not enabled and the make runs successfully. When I use the –enable-fips option, the configure runs just fine but the make fails with : 
In file included from common.h:374,
                 from file.c:38:
/usr/include/openssl/fips.h:69:2: error: #error FIPS is disabled.
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.


Stop.
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.


Stop.
IBM support assures me that FIPS is enabled. At this point I am stuck and do not know what to do next. Can anyone offer any suggestions? My system, oslevel, ssl level, etc… are as follows:
