Bad path on removal of libatomic causing compilation failure

[Anubis 1101]

Good question, I just ran config from whatever folder it was delivered in. I thought using the -prefix command would change the directory, but it never generated the specified folder, so I'm not sure. Definitely seems like the kind of mistake someone who's not used to building projects like this would make, so hopefully it's that easy.

I'll take a look at it tomorrow, and try out your suggestion.
