Wasn't the whole point of supporting inline assembly directly in D to avoid these situations.

It has been some time since I last looked at it, but IIRC there is no way to write minit.asm in D inline asm because it requires control over the name of its data sections in order to be able to »bracket« all the ModuleInfo references (so an array of all ModuleInfos can be reconstructed later).

What's the 'official' tool that was used to compile the checked-in obj?

I use MASM386, but that is no longer available, and being a 16 bit program it won't even run on Win7.

MASM should work, or better JWasm (http://www.japheth.de/JWasm.html)

but were to find the included macros.asm?

It's part of the dmc distribution. But it should be rewritten not to need it.
