Copied from #24009:

Poppler is an optional dependency for GDAL 3.11.3, see here. We currently do not add a dependency for this, but also do not explicitly disable the inclusion in GDAL. GDAL will therefore try to find Poppler on the system. If one is found, it will try to use that one for building. In my case when trying to build #24002, this failed with the following error:

This gave the clear hint that libpoppler is taken from the system.

To fix this, explicitly disable building GDAL with support for Poppler.

The documentation for GDAL 3.9 -- 3.11 all show this option, so copy this to the older GDAL versions as well. For even older versions, I wasn't able to find online documentation immediately, so not sure if we'd need to go back even further.
