Windows never defined a way to include debugging symbols inside the 
executable. It's always in separate .pdb files.

If you compile Windows programs with gcc, with debugging symbols 
enabled, they end up inside the .exe like on Linux, and gdb works on 
them; but it's incompatible with MSVC debugger. And viceversa; gdb 
doesn't understand .pdb symbol files.
