The support in netperf is for the API specified in draft-ietf-tsvwg-sctpsocket
draft.  The standard include is typically netinet/sctp.h

If OpenSS7 provides a different API header file that needs to be added to
the configure.  Not being familiar with OpenSS7 environment, I can't comment.

If you want to use the Debian-provided SCTP implementation, you need to install
libsctp-dev package.
