It looks like this version of Bind is expecting a newer version of 
autoconf and expects new macros defined, like 
AC_C_FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_MEMBER, which was introduced in autoconf 2.61.
(re:  http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/autoconf.git/tree/NEWS)

I was able to get past this error by commenting out this macro in the 
configure.in file within the archive.

ie:
1. pushd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/
2. tar xzvf bind-9.7.1-P2.tar.gz
3. vi bind-9.7.1-P2/configure.in
4. Comment out line 285 with a #
5. remove old archive:  rm -rf bind-9.7.1-P2.tar.gz
6. archive the new version:  tar czvf bind-9.7.1-P2.tar.gz bind-9.7.1-P2
7. re-run rpmbuild command

After this, I successfully created the RPMs.

Thanks,
