In the master PHP branch the bundled libmbfl library is now developed as a fork in the php-src directly instead: https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/2823 Therefore the configure option --with-libmbfl is not recommended to use anymore in PHP >= 7.3. So, best to remove the --with-libmbfl configure option: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75340 and update the documentation with a warning or completely removing the configure option for using an external libmbfl library. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75341&edit=1
