This seems a bit silly to me. Generally you should upgrade your 
software when you want features offered by the new version. If you 
don't like the other new features of 9.8.x, don't use them. They 
don't bite. In fact, I liked 9.8 quite well before moving to 9.9.

FWIW, 9.7.7 is out of RC now, and 9.8.4 is the current release of 
9.8.x. Perhaps you could take the 9.8.4 sources and patch to show a 
version of "9.7.7-ashok-dns64".

It's shared. You can download the full source code from isc.org. If 
your organization has a budget for it, you could probably hire ISC 
for custom programming work.
