In case anybody is curious, CheckLinkerFlag cmake module (used below) is documented in https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/CheckLinkerFlag.html that:
New in version 3.18.

One of our CI builds is breaking because it's still using CMake 3.10.1. Is there any easy workaround that wouldn't require the CheckLinkerFlag module?

I just checked and it doesn't appear to be easy to upgrade our CMake version, because we're using a Windows VM maintained by another team. I think we should probably just enable the behavior conditionally, only if CMAKE_VERSION is greater than or equal to 3.18 (we already do something like this below).

Actually would you mind setting the minimum version to 3.10.1? Let's do that and see if anyone complains. Maybe we can try to gradually increase the minimum version over time so that we can start to rely on newer CMake features.

I added fallback code using check_cxx_source_compiles function from CheckCXXSourceCompiles module.
Autotools build system already uses linker version scripts since commit 13d165d. Fixes: protocolbuffers#6113

Thanks, @Arfrever! |

Is it really required to bump the cmake version to 3.10? FYI, gRPC still supports 3.5.1. |

Let me send out a pull request to lower it to 3.5.1. |
