I encountered it [too](https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/552999/fatal-error-c1090-pdb-api-call-failed-error-code-3.html). Please up-vote if you have a Microsoft Visual Studio profile. Workaround is to add /FS to `CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS` when configuring ITK. On my computer it reads `/DWIN32 /D_WINDOWS /W3 /GR /EHsc /FS`.
