I guess you guys did not yet implement the build change for this (and we probably never told you about it), but I guess you could just hard-code the php7-ext dir..?

IIRC the reason why we did not swith to php7 back then was webapp not
using it yet. Has that changed? If so we should switch and reupload
ASAP, there's still a chance for stretch.
