Possible, but quite improbable; it's much more likely that the execlp
system call is complaining that the file bind's trying to exec does
not exist.  That is, you've missed copying some file and/or library
to the chroot tree.

Unfortunately, I do not have BIND sources handy right now, so I cannot
make a guess at which file might be the problem.

Looks like it's missing the 'gzip' program for a compressed zone transfer
(ZXFR).
