I had the same problem, have you solved it yet?

Same problem

$ bazel build :protoc :protobuf
Starting local Bazel server and connecting to it...
INFO: Reading rc options for 'build' from /home/huidongc/github/protobuf/.bazelrc:
  Inherited 'common' options: --noenable_bzlmod --repo_env=BAZEL_NO_APPLE_CPP_TOOLCHAIN=1
ERROR: --noenable_bzlmod :: Unrecognized option: --noenable_bzlmod

After upgrading Bazel, the issue is gone.

ERROR: --noenable_bzlmod :: Unrecognized option: --noenable_bzlmod.
The cause is the version of bazel is too old.
vim ~/.bazeliskrc
USE_BAZEL_VERSION=7.1.2

using the latest vesion. the error is gone.

I assume the error is no longer reproducible with updated Bazel, if it is please feel free to reopen the bug.
