Thank you for those advices.
I succeeded to have popcnt in the LCD build, (using llvm_ctpop). 
-singleobj looks like a good idea too.

for the above test:
original: 18.7 s
with popcnt & singleobj: 11.1s.
LDC is now close to GDC in performance.
A question: why singleobj is not activated by a -Ox options?
