On ppc host there might be a builtin for it, on the x86 Xeon cpus with
SSE4 there's also a bitcounting instruction but this approach is
actually faster than transferring the number to the MMX register,
running the instruction and copying the value back. In the benchmarks
I've seen the speed is comparable with table lookup on x86 and -O3.
Cheers
