Problem is - you can't recreate the openjdk using only a previously
built openjdk, because openjdk is not a fully functional runtime
environment (or Java Development Kit, regardless of the "JDK" part of
"OpenJDK") - it does not include the Java Class Library, which must be
obtained separately. So you can compile openjdk using a Sun's non-free
JDK, or using openjdk combined with Sun's non-free Java class library,
but you can't build it with only free tools, no matter what bootstrap
process you're using.
It doesn't make any difference, the result is still free.
