compilation fails when '--with-php' is passed to configure. Error: gdal_wrap.cpp:861:52: error: macro "ZVAL_STRING" passed 3 arguments, but takes just 2

[dreieck]

When I compile gdal 2.1.1 on my arch linux system (64 bit) and I have the option --with-php passed to configure, at some point the build process fails with a lot of error messages. (Without that/ with --without-php it compiles fine.) Here I give the first and the last error messages; see the attached file makepkg.with-php.log.xz for complete:

I use the following commands to build gdal (taken from the official Arch Linux PKGBUILD, and modified):

Error: Failed to load processor bash

No macro or processor named 'bash' found

I attach the following additional information as files:

• The complete PKGBUILD to build the package in the way the error occurs,
• the log of stdout and stderr (combined) when building the package that way,
• the log of stdout and stderr (combined) when succesfully building the package with --without-php.

PKGBUILD with '--with-php'.

Compile log (stdout and stderr) with '--with-php'.
