PATH has nothing to do with where to find C headers;
it influences only the search for executables.  The
environment var you want is INCLUDE.  However,
/usr/include should be on the include path by
default.  Are you sure /usr/include/openssl/md5.h
exists?

Again, the LDFLAGS var has to do with linking, not
compilation.  To influence the search for headers,
you want "CFLAGS=-I/wherever/your/headers/are ./configure ..."
