[BUG]: Failure to Install with PECL

[aaugusto-kelmar]

Describe the bug
When installing via PECL (and also when trying to install with the install script in the build directory), the install gets stuck in a loop spitting out the following error:

/usr/include/php/20210902/Zend/zend_API.h:1984:76: note: expected 'zend_string **' {aka 'struct _zend_string **'} but argument is of type 'zval *' {aka 'struct _zval_struct *'}

To Reproduce

pecl channel-update pecl.php.net
pecl install phalcon

Expected behavior
Phalcon installed successfully

Details

• Phalcon version: v5.4.0, also tried v5.3.0 and using the 5.0.x branch
• PHP Version: 8.1.2-1ubuntu2.14
• Operating System: ubuntu
• Installation type: both compiling from source and installing via package manager
• Zephir version (if any): none

Additional context
Install was working last week but as of Friday it stopped working and would encounter this error.

Maybe the machine you're using doesn't have enough specs (especially memory)?
I am using Phalcon in a Docker container, and have had the experience of completing compilation by increasing the memory allocated to WSL2 (as a result, increasing the container's memory).
This post states that at least 3Gb of memory is required.

@niden and I were working on a PHP 8.3 build issue and I confirmed that PECL does not work on a small server. I was trying to install with PECL on a 1CPU/2GB server and PECL was failing. When I upgraded to a 2CPU/4GB server, PECL installed Phalcon as expected.

Confirm that build log is full of warnings like summary notes, building it for Alpinelinux http://build.alpinelinux.org/buildlogs/build-edge-x86_64/testing/php81-pecl-phalcon/php81-pecl-phalcon-5.6.0-r0.log
