How to enable PCNTL on Ubuntu 16.04 server

Question

I am wondering how to enable the pcntl extension in PHP7 running on a Ubuntu 16.04 server.
I saw this http://www.crimulus.com/2010/07/30/howto-enable-pcntl-in-ubuntu-php-installations/ , but do we really need to recompile PHP7?

This surprises me, as other extensions are usually easy to add with apt-get.

thank
