strace helped me to find the problem.

# echo "<?php phpinfo() ?>" | strace /opt/php7/bin/php  2>&1 | grep php.ini
open("/etc/php7/php.ini/php-cli.ini", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOTDIR (Not a directory)
open("/opt/php7/bin/php.ini", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/etc/php7/php.ini/php.ini", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOTDIR (Not a directory)

I do not understand why, but PHP is looking in the wrong folder. It seems that the change with-config-file-path without make clean causes to the problem.

I added --with-config-file-path=/opt/php7/lib to ./configure and executed make clean && make && make install.

It solved the problem.
