One last question:
so I've learned the hard way
of the value of quickpkg.

Besides gcc, what is a good list
of critical software to use guickpkg
as to keep backup binaries?

I have this set in my make.conf:

FEATURES="buildpkg sandbox fixpackages parallel-fetch --keep-going"

Yours may vary but the buildpkg part is what you need. There is also buildsyspkg but in the past, I had it to not keep some system packages.

If you use either of those, man eclean.  That will keep the cruft out.
