if you ran autoconf, the next step is to run autoheader.

then, you run configure with whatever options you need for your architecture.
see the INSTALL file.

for my machines, i use-
 ./configure --prefix=$INSTALLDIR \
      --with-pid-dir=$INSTALLDIR/etc \
      --with-ssl-dir=$INSTALLDIR/lib \
      --with-zlib=$INSTALLDIR/lib \
      --with-cflags="-I$INSTALLDIR/include" \
      --with-ldflags="-L$INSTALLDIR/lib" \
      --with-entropy-timeout=600 \
      --with-privsep-path=$INSTALLDIR/var/empty \
      --with-privsep-user=sshd
