configure: Avoid using strings binary

Browse Source 
When determining the endiandness of the target architecture we're
building for a small program is compiled, which in an obfuscated
way declares two strings. Then, we look which string is in
correct order (using strings binary) and deduct the endiandness.
But using the strings binary is problematic, because it's part of
toolchain (strings is just a symlink to
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-strings or llvm-strings). And when
(cross-)compiling, it requires users to set the symlink to the
correct toolchain.

Fortunately, we have a better alternative anyways. We can mimic
what compiler.h is already doing: comparing __BYTE_ORDER__
against values for little/big endiandness.
