Description:
------------
When using a preloaded class that references $_SERVER, the variable is not set.
When setting auto_globals_jit to Off, it works.

Test script:
---------------
index.php
========

<?php

header('Content-Type: text/plain');

print_r(Test::getServer());



class.php
=========

<?php

class Test {
        public static function getServer()
        {
                return $_SERVER;
        }
}



preload.php
===========

<?php

opcache_compile_file('class.php');

Expected result:
----------------
Array(
  ...
)

Actual result:
--------------
Notice: Undefined variable: _SERVER in /var/www/html/class.php on line 6

Works for me.

Weird. I reproduced it again today with the latest master.

Full reproduce steps:

1. Create /var/www/html/index.php as above
2. Create /var/www/html/class.php as above
3. Create /var/www/html/preload.php as above; change the path to an absolute path:
   opcache_compile_file('/var/www/html/class.php');
4. Add this line to php.ini: opcache.preload = /var/www/html/preload.php
5. Restart php-fpm
6. Load http://localhost/

You should get the error:
Notice: Undefined variable: _SERVER in /var/www/html/class.php on line 6

Aha!  I've only tested on CLI; apparently, the issue only affects
some SAPIs.

Is this still unresolved with latest PHP 7.4?  If so, would it
work if included class.php (opcache_compile_file() has known
limitations regarding preloading)?
