file: Fix CONFIGURE output relative path

In commit a6fee09484 (file: Add CONFIGURE subcommand, 2020-03-06,
v3.18.0-rc1~584^2) we accidentally treated relative path outputs
with respect to the current working directory.  Treat them with
respect to the current binary directory instead.

Fixes: #20885
