Given a list of strings, build a DAG in which each node is a string and there is an edge x->y iff string x is proper substring of y?

There are at most N = 10^4 strings, but the length of the concatenation of all strings is at most MAXLEN = 10^6. What would be the more efficient way to build a DAG as described in the title? The naive way would be comparing each pair of strings (X,Y), which leads to O(N^2) comparisons, and then for each pair to check whether X is substring of Y in O(MAXLEN^2). The naive solution could be improved by first sorting strings by length so that each string X can only be substring of strings to the right, and also we could use Rolling Hashing to reduce the complexity of substring verification to O(MAXLEN). Is it possible to do even better? I've got the feeling that Suffix Array could be of help, but I'm not sure of exactly how. The motivating problem is this one
