This has nothing to do with perl/m4 - it's simple /bin/sh (at
least as simple as /bin/sh can get ;-) magic in 
admin/Makefile.common's subdir target. configure only takes
the lines of subdirs (or inst-apps after a copy ;) and puts
it into TOPSUBDIRS, where it ends as SUBDIRS later.

Look here:

subdirs:
        @files=`ls -1 | sort`; \
        dirs= ;\
        lib_dirs= ;\
        for i in $$files; do if test -d $$i; then \
                case $$i in \
                  lib*) \
                        lib_dirs="$$lib_dirs $$i" ;; \
                  *) \
                        dirs="$$dirs $$i" ;; \
                esac ;\
           fi; \
        done ;\
        rm -f SUBDIRS ;\
        for i in $$lib_dirs $$dirs; do \
        echo $$i >> ./SUBDIRS; \
        done
        @if test -r subdirs && diff subdirs SUBDIRS > /dev/null; then \
          rm -f SUBDIRS; \
        fi
        @test -r SUBDIRS && mv SUBDIRS subdirs

What you had to do is to add a little grep and sed on the toplevel Makefile
to add a third case "compile last". But then I would suggest to make it more
general and introduce a COMPILE_FIRST too

Greetings, Stephan
P.S. There are some wonderful books out there about shell programming, but
trial and error is still how you learn it fastests ;-)
