There are situations where you need to regardless - for example runkit needs
ZTS - if you need runkit and chroot() currently you can't do it without the
aforementioned hack. Besides this *is* a threaded context.
There's no good thread safety reason why chroot() would be disabled besides the
"it's hard to get it to configure like that" is there? I'm okay with the way it
is just in principle it seems wrong to me - personally I can do it in a patch...

maybe we can always return false in ZTS build, and trigger a warning.

You shouldn't use ZTS binaries in non-threaded context. They need more memory,
they are slower, they are harder to debug in case of critical errors.
That aside: We have no good mechanism to disable it easily in one context only.

Description:
------------
chroot() seems to be arbitrarily disabled with ZTS enabled. It seems like it is
disabled because when ZTS is -usually- used it is with a sapi that requires
thread safety but this isn't always the case.
AFAIK there isn't a good reason for it, I assume it's some sort of oversight -
a cheap and cheerful way to achieve the above, but it doesn't account for all
circumstances so you have to go hacking on the source code in about 3 different
places.
It probably should be as is *except* for if CLI and possibly CGI is the SAPI.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
var_dump(chroot("/chroot/me/here/"));
Expected result:
----------------
bool(true)
Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Call to undefined function chroot()
------------------------------------------------------------------------
