npm install -g llnode fails

[rnchamberlain]

It's common practice to install tools using the-goption, but this seems to fail with llnode:

rchamberlain@ThinkCentre-M57p:~/test$ npm install -g llnode

> llnode@1.4.1 preinstall /home/rchamberlain/node-v7.7.3-linux-x64/lib/node_modules/.staging/llnode-4a7a78c7

Problem seems to be this line in the config.js script: https://github.com/nodejs/llnode/blob/master/scripts/configure.js#L89

Using npm install llnode without the -g option works fine.
