I just did this the other day and I didn't need to use any special flags at all... it should look for /dev/random to begin with... the OpenSSH configure flags should be used if you are using a special PRNG such as egd, or prngd where the socket is somewhere non-standard, such as /var/run/egd_pool or something like that...
