When you unpack the tarball, you will find a bunch of files. Two of
those files are called README and INSTALL. I advise you to read them.
They tell you how to configure, compile and install BIND. You might be
better installing BIND9: for one thing it's a bit easier to build than
BIND8. 

Your question is very naive for a couple of reasons. Nobody executes
Makefiles: they're contain configuration data used by the make utility
to build software. It also seems that you don't understand the basics
of UNIX file access permissions. There are no execute permissions on
the Makefile, not that there should be any because it's not supposed
to be executed. That suggests you have negligible experience with
UNIX systems which probably means you're well out of your depth trying
to build software on this platform, especially something as complex
and important as BIND. Try to find someone who can help you or do some
reading on how to use and administer UNIX systems. That way, stuff
like Makefiles and file access permissions can be explained to
you. You first need to learn to walk before trying to run. If you
didn't appreciate what skills are needed to build and install BIND,
alarm bells should be ringing.

Also, the newsgroup you posted to is gatewayed to a mailing list
(bind-users at isc.org). That means you should not put any old crap into
the headers, especially a bogus From: address. If you do that, nobody
on the list can reply to you directly. They have to reply to the whole
list so their mail gets gatewayed back to the newsgroup. Make sure any
future postings contain an email address for you that works. Hiding
your email address doesn't prevent spam. [See www.mail-abuse.org for
effective ways of doing that.] All it does is annoy anyone who tries
to reply to you. In other words, you irritate anyone that tried to
help you.
