You can place an /etc/resolv.conf inside your chroot if you need
hostname resolution. In the past I have copied a
working /etc/resolv.conf form my host for this reason.

The development book currently includes these instructions for the
XML-Parser package...

cat > /etc/resolv.conf << EOF
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
EOF

And after it's complete the /etc/resolv.conf file is removed.

This approach will work just as well.

I don't think inetutils will be of any help in this case. I would just
carry on just you are.
