  build, meson, gitlab: Generate native .pdb CodeView symbols on Windows · 63f5ea9d
  Bruno authored Apr 13, 2025
  Reverts dc21fb76
  The CodeView format introduces some advantages to our Windows build:

• It is way smaller than DWARF, reducing the .exe installer. With
  the strip of COFF symbols too, the installation is 120MB smaller.
• Can be uploaded as .appxsym to be used on demand by MSIX (in thesis)
• Works better with DIA and DbgHelp debuggers like WinDbg and DrMingW,
  respectively. LLDB also works by using LLDB_USE_NATIVE_PDB_READER=1
  Context: that was not working before because DrMingw and LLDB seems to
  only search for the build-time .pdb path in '.buildid' section of bins.
  See: https://github.com/jrfonseca/drmingw/issues/91 and
  https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/125355. So, we will set
  _NT_SYMBOL_PATH at least for $PREFIX/bin for now as workaround.
