The only way I recommend building NSS on Windows is with Microsoft Visual C++ 
and the mozilla-build package located at 
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Windows_Build_Prerequisites#MozillaBuild_.2F_Pymake

Looking at your errors, it seems like the problem is a general problem with the 
MinGW/MSYS configuration itself, and not a problem specific to NSS. In my 
experience, more than a year ago, getting a correct GCC-based toolchain working 
in MSYS/MinGW (not just for building NSS, but in general) that isn't using an 
ancient version of GCC has been impractically difficult. 

See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=570340 where there is a 
MinGW/MSYS/GCC user trying to build NSS. If you are not him, then he might be 
more helpful than I.

Cheers,
Brian
