No. The packages must be built with the default JDK, so if
gcj and OpenJDK are available but gcj is the default¹, the
packages must be built with gcj.
① I don’t think we’ll ever have this if the OpenJDK is at

Another point for that.
Architectures with gcj as default have that for a reason…
and one reason alone… OpenJDK is not really usable there.
