That's exactly why I'm hesitating to do so. 

I tried to place /PDB:hoge.pdb "before" and "after" guiflags in
Makefile.nmake hoping that either of them overrides /PDB:NONE, but
none of them worked as I hoped.

I also tried to find a way to manipulate macros in nmake whether I can
trim some string out of it keeping others intact, but there seems not
in nmake. If nmake can do a command substitution (like back-quoting in
UNIX shells), we may be able to use 'sed' to substitute /PDB:NONE to
anything we want. I'll look into that.
