Generating phar.php during cross-compile can't be done

Description

When building the PHP 8.x versions with phar support from source with aarch64-linux-gnu tool chain, it will be failed:

Here are configure commands:

./configure '--cache-file=/home/localadmin/.phpbrew/cache/config.cache' '--prefix=/home/localadmin/.phpbrew/php/php_8_0_arm' '--disable-all' '--enable-phar' '--enable-session' '--enable-short-tags' '--enable-tokenizer' '--with-zlib=/usr' '--with-libdir=lib/x86_64-linux-gnu' '--enable-dom' '--with-libxml' '--enable-simplexml' '--enable-xml' '--enable-xmlreader' '--enable-xmlwriter' '--with-xsl' '--enable-bcmath' '--with-bz2=/usr' '--enable-calendar' '--enable-cli' '--enable-ctype' '--enable-fileinfo' '--enable-filter' '--enable-shmop' '--enable-sysvsem' '--enable-sysvshm' '--enable-sysvmsg' '--enable-json' '--enable-mbregex' '--enable-mbstring' '--with-mhash' '--enable-pcntl' '--enable-pdo' '--enable-posix' '--enable-sockets' '--disable-opcache' '--without-readline' '--without-openssl' '--without-curl' '--without-pear' '--without-zip' '--host=aarch64-linux' '--with-xsl=/opt/libxslt' '--with-zlib=/opt/zlib' '--with-libxml=/opt/libxml2' '--with-bz2=/opt/bzip2' '--disable-test' '--with-config-file-path=/home/localadmin/.phpbrew/php/php_8_0_arm/etc/cli' '--with-config-file-scan-dir=/home/localadmin/.phpbrew/php/php_8_0_arm/var/db/cli' 'PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/libxslt/lib/pkgconfig' >> '/home/localadmin/.phpbrew/build/php_8_0_arm/build.log'

And the error message is as follows:

Generating phar.php

/bin/bash: /home/localadmin/.phpbrew/build/php_8_0_arm/sapi/cli/php: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

Makefile:413: recipe for target 'ext/phar/phar.php' failed

make: *** [ext/phar/phar.php] Error 126

I think it should have the way to check whether it's cross compiling mode and it can avoid running the php binary.

That is, it should skip related phar generating steps when it's the cross compiling mode.

PHP Version

PHP 8.x

Operating System

Using the aarch64-linux-gnu tool chain in the Ubuntu 18.04 for the AARCH-64 target.

Hello, have you solved this problem？

I don't resolve the problem.

This fix doesn't work on FreeBSD. I had to revert this patch to be able to build PHP with phar support.

@mcoelho80 I'll take a look later today

[peter279k]

It seems that the issue is about the shell. I will check this in the FreeBSD.

[mcoelho80]

Same problem with PHP 8.1.20.
PHP 8.0.29 seems fine, as ext/phar/Makefile.frag wasn't changed.

@mcoelho80, PR is created and you can also help me to check that. Thanks :).

I tested the patch on both Linux and FreeBSD and it works. The PR is merged now. Thanks.
