./configure is just an initialisation, it involves no compilation.

make is the compilation.

make install is copying the files to the right place, this one should
be made on the target system.

But compiling on a newer system to install on an older... Yuck! You
will be facing a lot of problems most probably (at very least you
should link with option static). You'd better make it runnoing on the
2.6 machine.
