"ls -lt `find . -type f -print`" should output the files in the proper order. You might also try reproducing the problem yourself with "tar xf tarball; configure; make". If you cannot reproduce the problem yourself then you might need to investigate the possibility that your user didn't preserve the time stamps on the files.
