If you don't mind burning a lot of CPU, it's pretty easy to generate a
test vector from /dev/zero ("pee" is from the moreutils package, but
similar results could easily be made from repeated pipelines):

0 dkg at alice:~$ dd if=/dev/zero bs=1G count=257 | \
  pee \
  "openssl dgst -sha1 | cut -f2 -d' ' | sed s/$/:openssl/" \
  "gpg --print-md SHA1 | tr -d ' ' | tr A-F a-f | sed s/$/:gpg/" \
  "sha1sum | cut -f1 -d' ' | sed s/$/:binutils/"
