I think you want the digest-algo option:
--digest-algo name
Use name as the message digest algorithm. Running the program
with the command --version yields a list of supported algo-
rithms.

It's in the man page; search for digest-algo.

I don't think either has been "broken". There is some speculation that
multiple inputs might have the same md5 checksum, but as far as I know
no one has come up with an example. I've heard that SHA-1 is less
likely to produce those conflicts.
