I'd just use a naïve implementation - doesn't really matter
if it is a bit slow.

Slow is relative - this code only takes 35ms to crc-64 over 5MB of data.

{
    volatile const uint32_t *r = (const void *)buf;
    for (crc = 0; r < (const uint32_t *)buf_end; r++) {
        uint64_t val = le32toh(*r);
        crc ^= bswap64(val);
        for (i = 0; i < 32; i++) {
            if (crc & (1ull << 63))
                crc = (crc << 1) ^ 0x42f0e1eba9ea3693ull;
            else
                crc = crc << 1;
        }
    }
}
