+Since 5.18 for testing purposes we have included support for
+building perl with a variety of non-standard, and non-recommended
+hash functions. Since we do not recommend the use of these functions
+we have removed them and their corresponding build options. Spefically
+this includes the following build options:
+
+    PERL_HASH_FUNC_SDBM
+    PERL_HASH_FUNC_DJB2
+    PERL_HASH_FUNC_SUPERFAST
+    PERL_HASH_FUNC_MURMUR3
+    PERL_HASH_FUNC_ONE_AT_A_TIME
+    PERL_HASH_FUNC_ONE_AT_A_TIME_OLD
+    PERL_HASH_FUNC_MURMUR_HASH_64A
+    PERL_HASH_FUNC_MURMUR_HASH_64B
