As noted in another reply, if you have the config.log from the prior
./configure, it will contain near the beginning the command that was used.
There is a Mailman command, bin/mailman-config that will show you this
info, but this first appeared in 2.1.26 so you don't have it, and you
can't get it after the fact because it relies on being configured by
./configure to get the information.
If you don't have config.log, you can discern various things by
examining the current installation. The most common and important
options to configure are:
--prefix
--with-var-prefix (if different from prefix)
--with-username (usually 'mailman' except Debian/Ubuntu 'list)
--with-groupname (usually 'mailman' except Debian/Ubuntu 'list)
--with-cgi-gid (whatever your web server user is)
--with-mail-gid (depends on the MTA, with Postfix it's the primary
group of the owner of Mailman's data/aliases.db file)
--with-mailhost (sets DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST in Defaults.py)
--with-urlhost (sets DEFAULT_URL_HOST in Defaults.py)
See `./configure --help` for a complete list.
