lang/php85 has an unconditional (when not building a PHP module) LIB_DEPENDS on devel/capstone. It inherited this when the pre-85 opcache extension (www/php84-opcache etc.) was merged into the core. According to all available documentation, the capstone library is required only for disassembling JITted code cached using the opcache feature, but this disassembly feature is not enabled by the lang/php85 port under any circumstances. After removing this dependency the port builds correctly in poudriere with default options, but fails when I add --with-capstore to CONFIGURE_ARGS. A random web application (net-mgmt/zabbix7-frontend) works with the resulting package. I don't know if this application even attempts to use any opcache feature; I do know that all lines mentioning opcache in the php.ini file are commented out. (The version currently in ports, 7.0.24, officially does not support PHP 8.5 at all; 7.0.25 will and cannot be long.) Unless the dependency is actually necessary and cannot be made conditional, it should either be removed, or the feature that uses it should be enabled.
