Oh. It looks like this page has an even better suggestion:

http://wiki.dlang.org/Building_DMD

It suggests creating an empty masm386.bat file in a directory which is in
your path (e.g. C:\dm\bin), and then it'll just work, since masm386 will do
nothing. Still, I'm inclined to think that the makefile should be fixed so
that it just uses the provided object file if can't be rebuilt on the system
anyway.
