 Mine (Apple clang version 14.0.0 (clang-1400.0.29.202) on macOS 12) seems
 to. At least I do not see an error when it is used.

 Replying to [comment:6 JDLH]:
 > The `-export-symbols` arg appears to come from `dont-use-version-
 script.patch`

 Right, as I said in comment:1.

 > Maybe a thing to try is `link_args: ['-export-symbols ', symbol_map],`

 Omitting the space at the end (`-export-symbols`), yes, that does
 successfully remove the quotation marks around the two flags. But it works
 for me both before and after that change so I don't know if it will fix
 the problem for the OP.
