IIRC queryperf requires bind 8 compatibility.

cd bind-9.5.0/contrib/queryperf
./configure

# Edit the Makefile and alter the DEFS line to look like
DEFS = -DBIND_8_COMPAT -DHAVE_CONFIG_H

make
# Then run from the local directory (there is no make install)

BTW - if you want to link queryperf with your build of bind-9.5.0 you  
need the change above and to configure bind-9.5.0 like this
./configure --enable-libbind --with-libtool
