CodeView symbol generation or union

Hello,
I have libraries x.dll and y.dll for which I generate CodeView symbols x.pdb and y.pdb respectively. Library x.dll implicitly links to library y.dll by using an import library (y.lib).

Is it possible to either:
(a) instruct the compiler/linker to include symbols for y.dll in x.pdb
OR
(b) combine the symbols in x.pdb and y.pdb into one pdb

A strange question, but I would appreciate any assistance you may provide.

Thanks,
Jeremiah

It is impossible for symbols that represent functions and variables
(though symbols that represent type information can be included into both
.PDB files if the types are used in both DLLs).

AFAIK it is impossible.

Why do you need it? May be another solution exists...
