Are there any plans / is it possible to get FIPS 140-2 conformant
binary compiled for linux?  In particular, version 5.6.0 since it has
much better performance then the prior versions.

There are no plans for this now. In order to get FIPS certification, we need
someone willing to write the necessary "Security Policy" documentation (for
Windows this is easy since I can just modify the previous versions) and pay
a testing lab to do the FIPS testing. I think in the past, the price range
was somewhere around $30000 to $50000, but I didn't deal with the money
issues so I'm not sure.
