Yes it seems to be config. Thank you for all the pointers.

The small increase is unavoidable with this approach - basically we
add 16 bytes of rodata as part of making the switch cases into if()
instead of #ifdef. I found that SPL hashing was dropped, which
explained another problem that I had seen but not yet diagnosed.

I will send v2.
