I do not know enough about PHP to answer that question. What I can advise you to do -- if you still have the build log -- is to post the relevant section here, so that someone knowledgeable can examine it for you.
In the meantime, if you remember which tests failed, conduct your own tests with those features.

Is there a way to rerun the tests, without rebuilding the package?
Another question, tests run from debuild, are they executed in a fakeroot environment? I'm asking because 1 of the tests complained about a missing package (php-cgi), but I installed it, then performed a rebuild of the package and it still gave me the error...
I wouldn't worry too much about the tests, myself. Debian packagers have to disable some or all of them for certain packages, since they fail in the standard chroot or schroot build environments that they use.

That's a good suggestion. But it might be easier to just look at Debian's own build logs for PHP 7.3 and PHP 7.4. It will provide the information that HoaS suggests in a fraction of the time.

Indeed thank you!!

The errors indeed match. What do you mean exactly with 'if you still see the failures then all is good'
Now I'm building from source, I'm a bit confused with the concept of 'sid', 'testing' and 'experimental'. What's the difference between debianized source on stable vs debianized source on sid/testing/experimental? Or is this only relevant from a binary perspective?
If you see the errors for the sid build then it must be okay because the Debian developers saw fit to release it in that state. Check the Makefile, the upstream instructions and debian/rules to find out how to run the tests independently if you're that worried.

Nope not worried, the sentence 'if you still see the failures then all is good.' confused me , but now it's clear thx!
, but now it's clear thx!
