You need "-C opt-level=3 -C target-cpu=native -C target-feature=+ssse3"

I actually wrote about it last week: http://tmccrmck.github.io//post/rust-optimization-partii/

You can drop `-C target-feature=+ssse3` since `target-cpu=native` will cover that. The `-C opt-level=3` isn't necessary either, but if you drop that, it looks like there's a function that doesn't get inlined. However, even without opt-level=3, the popcnt instruction is still emitted.

There's a little typo in your C implementation of popcount: you reference `x` when you probably meant `n`

Thanks. I fixed it.
