The property "LINKER_LANGUAGE" is not allowed. When Following Quick Start

[danbugs]

My system:

• Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS (Focal Fossa)
• uname -m: x86_64
• cmake --version: 3.16.3

Steps to repro.:

git clone https://github.com/google/flatbuffers
cd flatbuffers
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles"

Error message:

For the record, I didn't fix this, but, instead, installed flatc with:

wget https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/releases/download/v23.5.26/Linux.flatc.binary.clang++-12.zip
unzip Linux.flatc.binary.clang++-12.zip
sudo mv ./flatc /usr/bin/flatc

The problem still exists for CMake older than 3.19. Then the interface properties whitelist has been removed as far as I remember.
I tried with CMake 3.11 on CentOS and it didn't work. Updated to 3.20 and its compiles.

Same issue as @danbugs, using Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS with cmake version 3.16.3 installed using standard apt repos.
