Yeah, I think you are correct. He meant OpenMPI.

Note that MPI doesn't have an ABI either.

I've talked to a few players about an OpenMP ABI and had little success.
Good luck.

I just took a look at that URL, and it says 

"Since Linux is a major force in clustered environments ..."
                                 ======================
and 

" ... best of my knowledge OpenMP is not shipped with distributions
today.
However, the API is stable (since it is base on the MPI standard), and
..."
                                                    ++++++++++++

To me it seems the author of the mail meant OpenMPI(!).
