IMHO shortening the names now just delays dealing with the problem.
I see 2 possible approaches to a long-term fix:
1) add some machinery on the build system to complain when a filename
would exceed 99 chars (before the file gets into svn).
2) probe at configure time for a $TAR command that produces the POSIX format
I favor #2

Automake forces v7 mode so that Solaris tar can untar the tarball,

According to posix, tar should not limit the file name length. Only
the v7 implementation of tar is limited to 99 characters. GNU tar has
never been limited in the number of characters file names can have.
You should check with tar --help that tar on your machine defaults to
format=gnu or format=posix. If it defaults to format=v7 I am curious
why. Are you using solaris ?

I'm trying to replicate and getting a lot of these:
tar: openmpi-1.3a1r17212M/ompi/mca/pml/v/vprotocol/mca/vprotocol/
pessimist/vprotocol_pessimist_sender_based.c: file name is too long
(max 99); not dumped
tar: openmpi-1.3a1r17212M/ompi/mca/pml/v/vprotocol/mca/vprotocol/
pessimist/vprotocol_pessimist_component.c: file name is too long
(max
99); not dumped
I'll bet that this is the real problem. GNU tar on linux defaults
to
99 characters max, and the _component.c filename is 102, for
example.
Can you shorten your names?
