So the problem is in the newest autoconf (Currently version 2.72). I have compiled myself version 2.70 of autoconf and the compiling of php works again. The autoconf is called by buildconf script while building.
I would like to push my own aur package for autoconf 2.70, but it will take me some time to figure out how to make two versions of autoconf available at the same time on one system. Right now I have replaced the new 2.72 with the old 2.70.
Is it okay for this package to make a new dependency, after I create the aur package?

Read Carefully! Breaking changes in compare with native PHP package
Console version /usr/bin/php56 is installed with php56-cli subpackage, php56 doesn't include it anymore!!!
PEAR and PECL are available as php56-pear and php56-pecl subpackages
All shared modules are respresented as stand-alone subpackages and are not included with php56 package anymore.
No more extensions in php.ini itself!
Separate INI files for each extension are placed in /etc/php56/conf.d
They are loaded in correct order according to priority

PHP 5.6 will stop getting security updates in January 2019. Consider upgrading to PHP 7 now

PLEASE READ : For those who are getting "unknown public key" errors, this is NOT caused by this package. It means GPG is not configured to fetch public keys automatically (which is normal by default)
Please read the instructions at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Makepkg#Signature_checking
The easiest way to overcome this is to manually import the keys from a keyserver :
