I began attempting a test build locally but on an x86 (64, I'm not
completely mad) host under qemu but it was abysmally slow, so I'll try
again later on an ARM build host.

>From the git history of the symbols file, I also notice that at one point
the relevant (open)MPI symbols were tagged as optional.  Perhaps that, even
if it is an unusual use of the tag, could allow the build to succeed
without creating per-arch files.

In any case: I'll try to provide some results-based feedback soon (next day
or so, most likely).
