So that character between "version" and "19" (presumably meant to be a 
no-break space) obviously isn't liked by that sed regex in nss's 
configure.in; it expects to see a true space before the digit sequence.

In principle, you could add a patch to external/nss to adapt that regex 
in nspr/configure (which presumably doesn't get rebuilt from 
nspr/configure.in during our build) to handle either a true space or 
whatever other character you have there.  In practice, that may be 
complicated by cl outputting its text with a different code page than 
what your cygwin shell's locale expects, so coming up with a meaningful 
regex may be nontrivial.  You could also try to see whether nss upstream 
has some fix on offer.
