Description

Description

The following code:

php -v

Resulted in this output:

PHP 8.2.7 (cli) (built: Jul 20 2023 18:02:54) (NTS)
Copyright (c) The PHP Group
Zend Engine v4.2.7, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies
    with Zend OPcache v8.2.7, Copyright (c), by Zend Technologies

But I expected this output instead:

PHP 8.2.7 (cli) (built: Jul 20 2023 18:02:54) (NTS, Windows 10, 64-bit)
Copyright (c) The PHP Group
Zend Engine v4.2.7, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies
    with Zend OPcache v8.2.7, Copyright (c), by Zend Technologies

Research direction

Reproduce the behavior with php -v and trace the CLI version-output entry point; the issue does not name a source file or test. Confirm how the build identifies the operating system and architecture, then verify that the command reports those details in the requested format on Windows.
