[php-src] Issue #7990: Build only php -S, passthru(), redirect to server from symlink

Issue: https://github.com/php/php-src/issues/7990 Comment Author: nikic > This is not a bug. This is a feature request. A very specific question about whether it is > possible, or not, to build a minimal PHP with only php -S host:port ans passthru() capability. Okay, this is pretty easy to answer: No, this is not possible. A minimal build of PHP includes multiple extensions (core, standard, spl, date, json, hash, maybe more I'm forgetting) and I don't believe we have an interest in providing a more minimal build. We want that applications and libraries can depend on certain core functionality being available.
