Did you install Open MPI via Homebrew?
I don’t think this will work (at least, I have yet to see a single person make it work with the recent changes with Apple linker).
I would:
1) remove all this unnecessary stuff
CXX_LINKER_FLAGS=-Wl,-rpath,/opt/homebrew/lib CFLAGS="-g -O2 -fPIC" CXXFLAGS="-g -O2 -fPIC" FCFLAGS="-g -O2" FFLAGS="-g -O2" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-ld_classic -Wl,-commons,use_dylibs" MAKEFLAGS=w
These are either: default parameters or low-level parameters that are likely to break stuff if not set appropriately.
2) add something like --download-mpich or --download-openmpi to your configure options
3) start fresh by removing your previous PETSC_ARCH directory

Thanks,
Pierre

This is because I compile OpenFOAM natively (it is developed for Linux, but with some tweaks it can be compiled on macOS). I use the PETSc library within custom OpenFOAM  applications (solvers). Therefore I install PETSc in the same volume.
