CMake Error: Error required internal CMake variable not set ... _CMAKE_CUDA_WHOLE_FLAG

I'm trying to configure a project of mine involving CUDA, like so:

cmake \ -DCMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES=61 \ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \ -DCUDAToolkit_ROOT=/usr/local/cuda-11.6 \ -DCMAKE_CUDA_COMPILER=/usr/local/cuda-11.6/bin/nvcc \ -DCMAKE_CUDA_HOST_COMPILER=/usr/bin/g++-11 \ -S /path/to/src_dir \ -B /path/to/build_dir

and am getting:

-- The C compiler identification is GNU 11.5.0 -- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 11.5.0 -- Detecting C compiler ABI info -- Detecting C compiler ABI info - done -- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/gcc-11 - skipped -- Detecting C compile features -- Detecting C compile features - done -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info - done -- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/g++-11 - skipped -- Detecting CXX compile features -- Detecting CXX compile features - done -- The CUDA compiler identification is unknown -- Check for working CUDA compiler: /usr/local/cuda-11.6/bin/nvcc CMake Error: Error required internal CMake variable not set, cmake may not be built correctly. Missing variable is: _CMAKE_CUDA_WHOLE_FLAG CMake Error at /opt/cmake/share/cmake-4.1/Modules/CMakeTestCUDACompiler.cmake:48 (try_compile): Failed to generate test project build system. Call Stack (most recent call first): examples/CMakeLists.txt:8 (enable_language)

I know that the nvcc is is right there (and if I point CMake to a different path, I get an error about not finding nvcc). I also know the architectures flag is legit.

So, what's going on? What does variable mean? And what do I need to do for my CMake configuration to succeed?
