Why shouldn't it?  I'm using it all the way from Solaris 8 to 11, with N
from 2 on a single-CPU HP Proliant DL-320 G2 via 96 on a 8-socket
NehalemEX Fujitsu RX900 S1 up to 128 on a SPARC Enterprise T5120.

The only caveat are strange errors with gmake:

make[3]: write error

See CR 6938116  GNU make highly unreliable: `write error' message.

I've hacked around this by ignoring the error in misc.c (close_stdout) ;-)
