You should remove the following arguments from ./configure:

--with-md5=auto/lib/md5
--with-sha1=auto/lib/sha1
--with-pcre=../pcre-6-6.2

They should be used specify path to *sources* of appropriate 
libraries and your usage is obviously wrong.  As soon as libraries 
in question are installed on your system nginx will be able to 
find them.

For more information see:

./configure --help
