For what you want, you should be able to use Wine's dbghelp unmodified.
Things that are legitimate bug fixes (like getting rid of 'long') can be
merged upstream. Other stuff like missing WideCharToMultiByte can be
addressed by providing the missing functions in your own separate object
file, without changing the source.

There was an effort a long time ago to generate PDB files from the Unix
data, but it never got good enough for real use. Doing this at the
compiler level is probably more realistic.
