See the code of "pcntl_wexitstatus" of ext/pcntl/pcntl.c

    841 PHP_FUNCTION(pcntl_wexitstatus)
    842 {
    843 #ifdef WEXITSTATUS
    844         zend_long status_word;
    845
    846         if (zend_parse_parameters(ZEND_NUM_ARGS(), "l", &status_word) == FAILURE) {
    847                return;
    848         }
    849         RETURN_LONG(WEXITSTATUS(status_word));
    850 #else
    851         RETURN_FALSE;
    852 #endif

Here status_word is long, but WEXITSTATUS needs the input as int.(https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Process-Completion-Status.html)
This is no problem on Little_Endian, but causes the problem on Big_Endian platform (s390x).

Have to cast it to int before running macro WEXITSTATUS:

    849         RETURN_LONG(WEXITSTATUS((int)status_word));

Similarly following function need to change:

pcntl_wifexited
pcntl_wifstopped
pcntl_wifsignaled
pcntl_wifcontinued
pcntl_wexitstatus
pcntl_wtermsig
pcntl_wstopsig
