What is needed to get mupdf to compile on macOS (Monterey) - clang

Question

Mupdf no longer compiles on macOS 12.16.1. Using MacPorts for instance gives:
:info:build mkdir -p build/shared-release/generated/resources/fonts/noto/ ; /usr/bin/clang -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -pipe -O2 -DNDEBUG -fomit-frame-pointer -Os -arch x86_64 -Iinclude -MMD -MP -o build/shared-release/generated/resources/fonts/noto/NotoSansOldPermic-Regular.otf.o -c generated/resources/fonts/noto/NotoSansOldPermic-Regular.otf.c -Wall -Wsign-compare -fPIC -O0

In MacPorts this is a known issue and it seems related to clang not being able to compile something because it runs out of resources when compiling NotoSansOldPersian-Regular.otf
Is there maybe a config or something we could temporary workaround by telling the mupdf configure not to compile this font? People (see ticket) already tried turning optimization off, using another compiler, but it is a more fundamental problem.
