Sed cannot apply any commands before it sees some input.  Since you
are on Windows, you should know that the stock Windows shell
implements pipes via temporary files, and invokes Sed only after nmake
finishes.

In other words, this is an issue with how the shell implements pipes,
not with how Sed processes its input.
