No need to merge PDB files.

Compile source files with /Z7 to avoid creating a PDB during the CL.EXE steps.

Use LIB.EXE to create static libaries with embedded debugging information. Use LINK.EXE instead of CL.EXE to link, use /PDB to specify where the debugging information goes.

If you are debugging a process with an EXE and one or more DLLs, feed your debugger a PDB for each image (EXE or DLL).
