Install pkg-get from http://www.bolthole.com/solaris/pkg-get.html, then
you can automate the retrieval and installation of gnu tools from
sunfreeware.com. Once that's installed type:

# pkg-get install binutils

Then make sure that /usr/local/bin is ahead of /usr/ccs/bin in your path
when you compile BIND.

Using pkg-get is optional, but worth your while.

fortune, or climb to the top of the building with a high-power rifle
and scope.
