I'm a bit late to answer, but yes, I have the very same problem here.
There is a
multi line Perl script near the end of
mozilla/security/coreconf/rules.mk. If you change this into many single
lines, all prepended by '-e', it'll run ok. I've tried perl directly
with a multi line script, the same happens. Being neither a perl guru
nor a perl lover, I just dismiss it. And the perl tests showed no error.
Anyway, the nss that gets built seems to be the same with or without
these errors, at least for me. Only 640 out of the 770 tests run ok, and
this on various machines ... /That /does concern me/ /quite a bit, though.
