The hash algorithms are, without any shadow of a doubt, part of GnuPG  
and not the kernel.

GnuPG uses its own crypto code, regardless of any cryptographic  
functionality provided by the OS in question.  (With a minor  
exception made for /dev/urandom and CryptGenRand, on UNIX and Win32,  
respectively.)
