Hi, thanks for all the information.

I got Digger (pretty nice tool btw) and it pulled all neccessary 
repos from GitHub. As my understanding is that I should not be 
doing "Build" with Diggger I just opened Windows console, entered 
druntime dir and typed:

d:\digger-1.0\repo\druntime>make -f win64.mak MODEL=32mscoff 
"CC=\"%VCINSTALLDIR
%\bin\cl.exe\""

and got:

dmd -c -o- -Isrc -Iimport -Hfimport\core\sync\barrier.di
