The problem arises from this bug in clang
llvm/llvm-project#116278 which causes the following:
The src/discover uses dune configurator, which always appends the C link flags from ocamlopt to the command line, and so the configurator erronously thinks that -mpopcnt will work.
Since the dune configurator can't easily be overridden, this PR works around this specific link order issue by hand-calling the cc compiler from the discover binary.
fixes #164 and #168
