I patched OSX build process a bit and I've got now a 32/64bits VM
working on OpenJDK 7 :

java -d32 -version
openjdk version "1.7.0-jdk7u4-b21"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0-jdk7u4-b21-20120423)
OpenJDK Server VM (build 23.0-b21, mixed mode)

java -d64 -version
openjdk version "1.7.0-jdk7u4-b21"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0-jdk7u4-b21-20120423)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.0-b21, mixed mode)

It was mainly uncomments of features already included in OpenJDK 7 trunk.

Patch available here :

Thanks to review and apply if interested, openjdk-osx-build packages
will use it.
