Unable to use PHP ini option ffi.preload

[gaelreyrol]

As said in the OpenTelemetry PHP documentation, fibers support can be enabled with OTEL_PHP_FIBERS_ENABLED.

Using non-CLI SAPIs (e.g. fpm, fastcgi) may require to preload some bindings like:

ffi.preload=vendor/open-telemetry/context/fiber/zend_observer_fiber.h
opcache.preload=vendor/autoload.php

But when building the composer package from PHP built with buildPhpFromComposer (using loophp/nix-shell flake), the underlying derivation composer-local-repo-plugin fails as it is unable to start FFI module because it could not find the file mentioned in the option ffi.preload.

The PHP derivation built from buildPhpFromComposer has the option but it does not contain the file from ffi.preload.
