I know this is an old one, but I ran into the same problem and with this switch just solved it:

composer install --ignore-platform-reqs

http://php.net/manual/en/pcntl.installation.php

Process Control support in PHP is not enabled by default. You have to compile the CGI or CLI version of PHP with --enable-pcntl configuration option when compiling PHP to enable Process Control support.

Note: Currently, this module will not function on non-Unix platforms (Windows).

I had the same problem on my system (OpenSUSE, PHP7). Simply installing php7-pcntl solved my problem.

We can resolve this issue by following way.

Your options are as follows:

Install the required extensions (best option)
Run composer with the --ignore-platform-reqs flag (very hacky) like composer update --ignore-platform-reqs
Upgrade to Laravel 5 (we no longer user boris for the tinker command)
