1.) Unless they pay you, don't shoot at noon.
2.) ND8 or ND4 and slower film.

With the M8, and 1/4000 - 1/8000, harsh light has become my friend.

Shoot.
Faster shutter speed, stack filters and get closer. Maybe use your shadow to block some light?

You can use a ND filter, slower film and a polarizing filter together. I use a singh ray vario-ND filter that can cut out a whopping 8 stops of light. That usually solves my "too much light" problem everytime.

That is an innovative idea! Live and learn.

Shoot.
How would you calculate exposure?

Good question...
with the singh ray vario-ND filter there are markings on the filter rim that you can use to make estimates.

When shooting with an evil SLR I tend to use ASA100 film that I shoot at ASA50. Add to this a polariser (minus 2 stops) and a graduated ND filter for the sky and I'm happy.
When shooting with a RF I don't use a polariser for obvious reasons but an orange filter (minus 2 stops) or a 2 or 3 stops ND filter - and ASA 100 film (usually @ ASA50) that I prefer in any case.
When shooting with a TLR I use a lovely Bay-1 1 and 2 stop ND filter set that Laurentb very generously sent to me as a Christmas giveaway (Thank You!!!).
This is with the SLR setup in very bright sunlight:
