No, the config mechanism is setup to offer the user the ability to choose a
default cookie hmac, alg, then optionally select any other hmac algs you would
like to be made available (in the event you want to change the default at run
time).  When you select the default, it eables (via the select directive), the
corresponding SCTP_COOKIE_HMAC_* config option, which is used in the build, and
then prompts for the remaining values.
