Description
If nothing else, they are annoying when there are real link error related warnings (dup/undefined syms) hidden among so many warnings about missing .pdb.
If this isnt easy to fix, maybe disable this one warning code (LNK4099)?

They are included in the win standalone archive, so I guess it might be solvable by adding more paths to the linker.
```bash
> find . -name '*.pdb'
./python/build/core/pythoncore.pdb
./python/build/extensions/_asyncio/_asyncio.pdb
./python/build/extensions/_bz2/_bz2.pdb
./python/build/extensions/_ctypes/_ctypes.pdb

Research direction
Start by reproducing the MSVC link from the Windows standalone archive and inspect how the listed PDB files under python/build are supplied to the linker. Done means the missing-PDB LNK4099 warnings are addressed while real duplicate-symbol and undefined-symbol warnings remain visible.
