Fail to compile with unrecognized platform-specific intrinsic function

Note: migrated from original JIRA: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-5613

I'm testing a project which depends on the Arrow crate. It failed with the following error:
{code}
error[E0441]: unrecognized platform-specific intrinsic function: simd_bitmask
--> /Users/sunchao/.cargo/registry/src/github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823/packed_simd-0.3.3/src/codegen/llvm.rs:100:5

error: aborting due to previous error

What platform are you on?  I guess we should add a feature to disable SIMD?

I was running on my Mac. Haven't tested on other platforms.

[~csun] is this still an issue?

packed_simd should support [OSX|[https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/packed_simd#platform-support].]  Could you open an issue there?  I would do it myself but I don't have a Mac to be able to provide feedback to the maintainer, I'd just be the middle man.
