Do those files exist?

the m4 files in build folder doesn't exist

Seems you have a bad checkout.

Try to download and build php8 beta 4 on my vps ubuntu 16.04 it successfully running buildconf and configure

But when I run the same command on my docker 16.04 it still return same error

Sounds like docker is stripping out your build/ directory then. Maybe it is ignored? (It's commonly used for build results, so I wouldn't be surprised...)

Eventually I solved the issue by download and configure, then copy all configuration file to another directory, make and successfully installed

Great that you have that resolved!  Doesn't look like a PHP bug,
though.
