Well the name "old-style" might also mean that there are drawbacks to

debug information is embedded instead of in a separate file.
We develop with SCons (which uses the MSVC compiler on Windows), and we
use the /Z7 option all the time, because it allows us to compile code in
parallel without any worries of conflicts. With the normal /Zi option,
you get conflicts when two or more processes are trying to write to the
.pdb file at the same time.
You can still make use of just-in-time and source-level debugging with
the "old-style" debug info. I do it all the time. The only drawback
that I know of is that the embedded debug info makes the final object
(.exe or .dll) larger, and it might increase loading time a bit.
The real solution I think would simply be to package the .pdb files with
the .dlls, perhaps in a separate zip file... Here at work we normally
check in the .dlls to source control, and have a separate zip file on a
server that people who need to debug OSG can unzip in their local
installation.
I think they're both "real" solutions. The .pdb files might be the
Microsoft solution, but both work just fine.
