With this prefix and without --sbin-path set nginx will install
it's binary into /usr/sbin/nginx.

Do you have md5 library *sources* in /usr/include? Note that
--with-md5 specifies path to md5 library sources (and nginx will
try to build them), it's not path to headers.

Seems to be using /usr/local/sbin/nginx binary, while you've just
compiled /usr/sbin/nginx one (if build succeded - I'm not sure due
to wierd configure arguments).

Note that other parts of your init script assume /usr/local/...
paths as well.
