It's possible to create several .pdb-files - one for each build process.

In fact, my first try at using -Fd option created a .pdb file for each 
.obj file.

We have a few licenses for IncrediBuild (parallel build support for 
MSVS) and it somehow works with .pdbs and precompiled headers. I'll try 
to see how it works...

PS: It's possible to download trial version of IncrediBuild at 
http://www.xoreax.com/main.htm .
