Comment (by svengo):

 Why should LibreSSL include more than one ECDH implementation? It is an
 OpenSSL specific option so the warning should only appear if tor is using
 OpenSSL.

 LibreSSL offers the following optional features (excerpt from `./configure
 --help`):

 {{{
 Optional Features:
   --disable-option-checking  ignore unrecognized --enable/--with options
   --disable-FEATURE       do not include FEATURE (same as --enable-
 FEATURE=no)
   --enable-FEATURE[=ARG]  include FEATURE [ARG=yes]
   --enable-silent-rules   less verbose build output (undo: "make V=1")
   --disable-silent-rules  verbose build output (undo: "make V=0")
   --enable-dependency-tracking
                           do not reject slow dependency extractors
   --disable-dependency-tracking
                           speeds up one-time build
   --enable-shared[=PKGS]  build shared libraries [default=yes]
   --enable-static[=PKGS]  build static libraries [default=yes]
   --enable-fast-install[=PKGS]
                           optimize for fast installation [default=yes]
   --disable-libtool-lock  avoid locking (might break parallel builds)
   --enable-nc             Enable installing TLS-enabled nc(1)
   --disable-hardening     Disable options to frustrate memory corruption
                           exploits
   --enable-windows-ssp    Enable building the stack smashing protection on
                           Windows. This currently distributing
 libssp-0.dll.
   --enable-extratests     Enable extra tests that may be unreliable on
 some
                           platforms
   --disable-asm           Disable assembly
