Yes, hmaccalc is new with the 5.4 release.

As CentOS 5.4 has not been released, the hmaccalc package is not yet
available from the repositories.

My advice, at present, is to use the "--without fips" command-line
flag and its argument when performing your build.

Please also be aware of an upstream bug --
