It would be nice if compilation of modules were alphabetically sorted, so you roughly know when the module you are intending to build will be built.

ps: Are the rm -rf's there safe? Won't that delete everything if the variables are unset?

If you want to build a specific module, you can just say make thatmodule.so. Also consider interaction with -j flag.

I don't want to make a specific module, I just want the list of modules that is being compiled to be alphabetically sorted since it takes quite a while and there's no way of knowing how far in you're at in the process.

If you use CMake, it'll say current completion in percents, with either
ninja or makefile generator.

CMake is only a recent addition, many people will probably stick to the known ./configure method unless something tells them there's a better alternative.
