On Mac I get a build error while compiling the standard-reports (cmake/ninja build):
ice-9/boot-9.scm:109:20: no code for module (gnucash report standard-reports)
I fixed this temporarily by making the link by hand, but it seems that we need a custom target for the copy commands at the bottom of gnucash/report/standard-reports/CMakeLists.txt and the compilation of the other reports there needs to be dependent on that target.
