It is using the build from ppa:ondrej/php.

You can report this here. I'm not sure, but Ondrej might need a new release with the patch from https://github.com/grpc/grpc/pull/40842 merged.

okay, thanks!

I wasn't sure what could be the root cause of it working on other OS but not Ubuntu.

Thanks for the links

Yes, it was patched in the homebrew-extensions formula and the PECL builds I do for Windows.
