The latter statement (that nobody builds OSX from jdk7u) is probably correct, jdk7u repos became
broken for Mac since 7u85 [1]. Even if 7u85+ can be compiled for Mac, it will contain a number of
regression tests failures.

It doesn't sound like it. I only build and test backports on GNU/Linux.
If others are interested in support for other platforms, then they need
to build and test on those platforms, and submit issues and/or fixes
as you have here.
It looks like Goetz is already handling the backporting of 8028471 for you.
Thanks,
Is there any interest in having working OpenJDK builds for macOS? If yes, are there test suites to
validate if a build works correctly and how could I run them (I would need a bit of guidance here)?
I do now have a working build environment which was a challenge by itself due to rather ancient
versions of Xcode being required for the build, so if there is anybody out there who is interested
in OpenJDK for macOS builds I would be willing to do them.

Florian
