I think we have a licensing problem here.

What license is that binary covered by? Googling a bit I found
the source online, here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hd8h6f46.aspx
But it says:
// dia2dump.cpp : Dump contents of a pdb file using DIA.
//
// Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
//
Thus, making that a non-free program that we have no right to
distribute?

I think the latter would indeed be better.
