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.
