I need a tool that sorts a large list of source files into compilation order.

I have 800 files right now, with filenames averaging 17 characters long.
The Ada utilities insist on getting the list of files from the command line,
and SCO Unix doesn't allow that many characters on a command line.

Any suggestions?  Is there a tool I can get via ftp that determines
compilation order?  What would you do (besides getting a different compiler
or OS)?
