No, I'd rather concatenate RIPEMD-160 (from the same family as
SHA and MD5)9 with some unrelated algorithm (e.g. CRC, until
Tiger(2) or Whirlpool are in cksum(1) and libc integrated).

9) The only one from that family to be unbroken yet - ok,
RIPEMD-128 (not the 128 bit hash RIPEMD) isn't either,
but it's a little short.
