Some edit-and-continue tools rely on this: Recode <http://www.indefiant.com> and Live++ <https://molecular-matters.com/products_livepp.html>. These tools need to extract and repro the linking with the EXE/PDB alone. They need this information for recompiling TUs that change, and hot patch the process in memory.
