Yes indeed I should have mentioned it in the commit.

pear@php81 has been broken since last quarterly I believe. php81 does not
support the latest libxml2 of the ports tree at it's entirety and that caused
the pear to fail build with php81. Initially I planned to merge some upstream
changes from php83 into php81 but it breaks lots of other things and considering
the EOL date on 31st December I do not see the fusibility and value of the time
invested in this.

Kind regards,
Moin
