The problem is triggered by the generation of the PDB files. PDB files are generated either when the `/Zi` flag is added at compile time or when the `/DEBUG` flag is added at link time. This PR removes both flags.

As a follow-up, we should make sure that the PDB files are generated for DebugNative builds (which are currently broken).
