 Hi All,
 
 From [1], it appears that the original bug report stemmed from
 violating ODR in the shared object which called Crypto++, and *not* an
 ODR violation in Crypto++.
 
 Take away: (1) Crypto++ 5.6.1 is most likely not responsible for a
 crash; and (2) 5.6.1 is useful to fix (work around) a GCC/x64 code
 generation bug in SHA-2.
 
 Please close this report at the earliest convenience.
