Am I downloading wrong druntime codes, or using wrong DMD

Generally, to compile druntime from git HEAD requires that you
use dmd
from git HEAD, as a number of compiler / druntime fixes require
changes
in both. So it's not surprising if the latest druntime fails to
be
compiled by an earlier compiler.
See also: http://wiki.dlang.org/Building_DMD
(which includes building druntime).
Specifically, it was noticed that certain function attribute
checks are skipped if the function contains an asm block
(https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12979), so attributes
for asm blocks were added after the stable release:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/4033
Obviously, the stable compiler doesn't recognize those subsequent
changes in git HEAD, so you have to compile dmd from git source
if you want to compile druntime from the latest git.
