Also -- could you upgrade to Open MPI 1.8?  It was released last week, and 
should be much more ARM-friendly than Open MPI 1.6.x.

Also, I see some extra configure options.  I suggest the following:

# I assume your --build and --host options are correct
# --disable-mpi-f77/f90 changed to --disable-mpi-fortran in 1.8
# You don't need --with-devel-headers; it's for OMPI developers only
# You don't need --enable-binaries; it's the default (and always will be)
# Do you really need *both* enable-static and enable-shared?  Usually one is 
sufficient
# --enable-static will automatically invoke --disable-dlopen
./configure --build=arm-linux-gnueabi --host=armv7-linux-gnueabi  \
--disable-mpi-fortran \
--disable-mpi-cxx --prefix=`pwd`/install \
--enable-shared --enable-static \
--disable-mmap-shmem --disable-posix-shmem --disable-sysv-shmem \
--disable-dlopen
