Webpack internally defaults to md4 hashing because it is fast.
Similarly some loaders (e.g. cache-loader) use md5. This is generally no
problem because they are mainly used for file hashes and nothing
cryptography related.

Unfortunately FIPS enabled versions of node do not allow to use these
hasing algorithms because they are considered broken by cryptographic
standards. All of these cryptographic functions come from openssl. So if
one uses md4 or md5 on a FIPS enabled system, the webpack process will
error.

Luckily we can just monkey-patch the createHash function in node in
order to use another algorithm. Thanks to this comment:
