Description
I tried to rebuild PHP using static-php-cli 2.4.4 in my GitHub Actions workflow, and it didn't work. The doctor command was fine; the source downloads went fine; but the build command fails. Running it with --debug shows me this:
D:\a\cms-launcher\cms-launcher\source\curl\winbuild>nmake /f Makefile.vc WITH_DEVEL=D:\a\cms-launcher\cms-launcher\buildroot WITH_PREFIX=D:\a\cms-launcher\cms-launcher\buildroot mode=static RTLIBCFG=static WITH_SSL=static WITH_NGHTTP2=static WITH_SSH2=static ENABLE_IPV6=yes WITH_ZLIB=static MACHINE=x64 DEBUG=no

Makefile.vc(37) : fatal error U1050: The user must acknowledge the deprecation warning to continue.
Stop.
WARNING:
The winbuild build system is deprecated and will be removed in
September 2025 in favor of the CMake build system.
Please see docs/INSTALL-CMAKE.md : "Migrating from winbuild builds"
To use the winbuild build system you must acknowledge this warning by
setting command line option WINBUILD_ACKNOWLEDGE_DEPRECATED=yes
Here's the full build log: https://github.com/drupal/cms-launcher/actions/runs/13169673265/job/36757562837 (the relevant step is "Build PHP interpreter").
This seems like it might be a quite a bit beyond my pay grade, to be honest. Is there a quick fix here beyond adding the WINBUILD_ACKNOWLEDGE_DEPRECATED flag? I could add that, I'm sure, but actually migrating to cmake is not something I think I'll be able to do.
