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)?
In-tree jtreg [1] tests can be used for testing (usually with something
like "-v1 -a -ovm -ignore:quiet"). Just note that these tests are not
guaranteed to be fail-free even for released stable versions.
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.
Maintaining MacOS builds for older jdks may be a considerable ongoing task.
