Description

Description

Currently, the build is tested in CI for building all ext together with the main php.

This is fine for testing the functionality, but basically any ext build can be broken due configure/linking issues.

This is a feature request to build all ext separately in one extra nightly job to prevent issues like #12565, #13745, #13764 to happen again.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the existing CI configuration that builds all extensions with PHP and the nightly jobs around it. The work is complete when an additional nightly job builds each extension separately, catching configure or linking failures without changing the existing functionality tests.
