I'm now confused:
vc-C++ 
../../../libs/regex/example/bin/regex_timer.test/msvc/debug/runtime-link-dynamic/threading-multi/regex_timer.o

CALL "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual C++\VC98/bin/VCVARS32.BAT" >nul
....
/Fd"../../../libs/regex/example/bin/regex_timer.test/msvc/debug/runtime-link-dynamic/threading-multi/vc60.pdb" 

And later:

vc-Link 
../../../libs/regex/example/bin/regex_timer.test/msvc/debug/runtime-link-dynamic/threading-multi/regex_timer

CALL "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual C++\VC98/bin/VCVARS32.BAT" >nul
.... 
/PDB:"../../../libs/regex/example/bin/regex_timer.test/msvc/debug/runtime-link-dynamic/threading-multi/regex_timer.pdb" 

Why these command lines use diffent PDB files? Also, how debug symbols for the 
regexp library get into PDB for the exe?
