A quick search shows this instruction is supported by -msse4.2 switch,
which is probably not enabled on debian i386 arch.

Another quick search show how to switch to popcnt (without q):

   ({ __cpu_mask r; \
-     asm ("popcntq %1, %0" : "=r" (r) : "0" (l));\
+     asm ("popcnt %1, %0" : "=r" (r) : "0" (l));\
      r; })
