Here is the trick I used on those arches for openvdb:

[...]
# Disable optimization on mipsel because the compiler is running out of memory
# see #847752 / #879636
ifneq (,$(filter $(DEB_BUILD_ARCH), armel armhf i386 mipsel hppa
riscv64 sh4 x32))
  CXXFLAGS:=$(filter-out -O2,$(CXXFLAGS)) --param ggc-min-expand=10 -O1
endif
[...]
