Did you try running configure or does it fail to even create it in the
first place? Old versions of automake et. al. should be less of a
problem on Linux. At least it might get you far enough as to create
the config.h for you.

That and the definition of certain constants etc ... . If the above is
too much hassle, you could probably supply your own version of that
file. I can send you mine once I am back from work as a starting
point. But maybe you can even do without. See below.

Little endian is default, so nothing to do here. I guess you could
surround the #include "config.h" in base/endian.h with #ifdef
HAVE_CONFIG_H as it actually should be ;-). Then you should be fine.
configure will automatically supply a -DHAVE_CONFIG_H when it creates
the Makefiles, so it wouldn't break the existing stuff either.
