In addition to looking for a fast utility, you should probably be looking for a correct one as well. I don't see how the above routine can work at all since x is not altered during the while loop extracting the "bits" via the x%2 operation. Also, what is supposed to happen for negative x inputs? In the above code, you will end up copying unitialized memory into output for this case. Bottom line is the above code has bugs that need fixing.
