Sorry, missed the '*compiling dmd* with dmd' part. Well, *you* 
are *now* talking about that specific non-trivial project with a 
lot of extern(C++). You started out with .pdb generation, 
mentioning some DWARF-to-PDB conversion, ripping some 'ancient 
CodeView' quote out of its -m32 context, then went on with 
claiming that DMD wouldn't output any type debuginfos at all 
etc., so you seemed to go in a completely wrong direction. Most 
stuff is working as expected; what isn't ought to be analyzed and 
fixed as with any other bugs and limitations.
