I don't know.  I think setting the MOZ_DEBUG_SYMBOLS environment
variable to 1 has a chance to work.

It must be possible to generate the PDB files, because Firefox builds
NSPR this way for the Breakpad crash reports.  It's just that I don't
know how to do that.

Unrelated comments:

1. --enable-debug-rtl should not be used with --disable-debug.
--enable-debug-rtl
means "use the /MDd compiler flag to link with the debug C runtime library".
It is not related to the generation of PDB files.

2. --enable-MOZ_DEBUG_SYMBOLS is not a valid configure option.  There is
no configure option to enable MOZ_DEBUG_SYMBOLS.  MOZ_DEBUG_SYMBOLS
has to be set as an environment variable.
