OpenSSL has been suggested, but has licensing issues (advertising
clause, considered GPL-incompatible without adding an exemption, etc).

mhash is LGPL'd and has support for (among others) SHA1 and MD5:
http://mhash.sourceforge.net/

There are packages for Debian (confirmed etch, lenny) and Ubuntu
(confirmed starting with Hardy).

There are probably other options, this is just another suggestion.
