the tests with the removed pcntl dependencies do fail for me. I made a
small change here

http://git.php.net/?p=php-src.git;a=commitdiff;h=56cbe043810ab773605aa6a6ca2eb362ea9a54e9

but still there are some with the similar diff

TEST 43/79
[C:\php-sdk\php56\vc11\x64\php-src\ext\openssl\tests\bug65538_001.phpt]
========DIFF========
001+ Warning: file_get_contents(https://127.0.0.1:64321/): failed to open
stream: No connection could be made because the target machine actively
refused it.
001- string(12) "Hello World!"
002+  in
C:\php-sdk\php56\vc11\x64\php-src\ext\openssl\tests\ServerClientTestCase.inc(93)
: eval()'d code on line 8
003+ bool(false)
========DONE========

Actually it's great to get rid of that pcntl dependency there, just we
should bring it inline. Working on the further fixes.

Anatol
