Setting the environment flag CFLAGS=-fPIC might work. If ATLAS uses
configure to setup Makefiles you will need to set this before running it
again. (e.g. CFLAGS=-fPIC ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/). I have not
done this with ATLAS, but this is how I solved the same problem
compiling other software.
