 You cannot build for TNS/E for FIPS, so you must specify the `no-fips`
 option to `./Configure`.
 
+Linking and Loading Considerations
+----------------------------------
+
+Because of how the NonStop Common Runtime Environment (CRE) works, there are
+restrictions on how programs can link and load with OpenSSL libraries.
+On current NonStop platforms, programs cannot both statically link OpenSSL
+libraries and dynamically load OpenSSL shared libraries concurrently. If this
+is done, there is a high probability of encountering a SIGSEGV condition
+relating to `atexit()` processing when a shared library is unloaded and when
+the program terminates. This limitation applies to all OpenSSL shared library
+components.
+
+A resolution to this situation is under investigation.
