You're probably looking at the wrong OS then.

Old binaries are not particularly expected to work long term
and may break from release to release, so even if you're using self-
built older PHP versions you'll have some extra work to do to rebuild
them on a newer OS version after some upgrades (and as time goes
by, you may have extra work to add patches to PHP to get it to build
from source, either due to changes in the OS or in dependencies).

(In any event, whatever OS you use, if you find it unacceptable
to have your systems broken after an upgrade, you really should test
those upgrades on a spare machine/VM first..)
