+Subject: [PATCH] Disable FIPS options
+
+On RHEL, FIPS should be configured only on system level.
+Additionally, the related options may cause segfault when used on RHEL.
+
+This patch causes the option processing to end sooner
+than the problematic code gets executed.
+Additionally, the JS-level options to mess with FIPS settings
+are similarly disabled.
+
+Upstream report: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/48950
+RHBZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2226726
