I wrote briefly in my book some stuff that might help get you
started

Basically you can start with an empty runtime and then add back
missing functions as needed to get it to compile.
For your interest: At first, the OS should run on x86_64.
Though I did 32 bit, I haven't worked with 64 bit. Probably not
that much different though.
I wrote a small 64-bit OS kernel that basically echos keystrokes
back at you. I got bored with mine. I'd done what I was
interested in, which was a x86_64 bootloader in ASM + D using
grub2.
The osedv.org site was useful but a lot of the information is
incorrect or outdated, especially the 64-bit bootloader and grub2
stuff.
The D Cookbook is a great read by the way, nice work !
