No, it can work with only SSE and only SSE2 enabled, which would match
the baseline (tested with a non-AVX machine, I could not get my hands on
a non-SSE2 box).

Theoretically yes: there is a fallback mode which codes the SIMD
instructions as loops. I have not tested it in a non-x86 and non-ARM
environment.
I will try testing it. It looks unlikely since it seems to need a native architecture. Likely build time tests will
not work, but I'll check nevertheless

Done.
I've also bumped the version to 7.5.0, released yesterday while I was
packaging :)
I do not see your changes on salsa[1] - did you forget to push in any case?
