OK. I figured out that this error is caused by git in my PATH. I think 
sh.exe in git\bin is causing configure some issues. Removing git from 
PATH and configure finished without issue.

qt5_tool requires git in PATH so I'll just have to remember changing 
PATH back and forth between clean up/update and configure.
