php-7.4 will be getting obsolete in the future and converting my code to php-8 might not be easy. So I want to make a binary of the current dev-lang/php-7.4.33-r2 just in case in the near future they will pull out the old version out of the portage. Will making binary allow me to install

Howdy, I finally broke down and bought a SSD.  It's a Samsung V-Nand 870 EVO 500GB.  My current OS sits on a 160GB drive so should be plenty.  I plan to even add a boot image for the Gentoo LiveGUI thingy, maybe Knoppix or something plus my usual OS.  By the way, caught one for sale for $40.00.
