Relative object file paths in the PDB

[nikhilm]

This is part feature request/part question.

Even after running the DLL and PDB through ducible, I found that the PDB hashes would differ, so the PE hashes would also differ, leading to cache misses. Turns out that the linker writes out absolute paths to .obj files in the module info substream! This is particularly obvious across different developer machines where their usernames are different.

Have you considered adding support to replace those with relative or fake absolute paths? Do you know if there are any downsides of doing something like that?
