General knowledge floating about in Mozilla-sphere (where they use 
mingw.org msys + gnu make 3.82-or-something) is that, generally, (msys, 
gnu) make is more likely to produce intermittent errors when used in 
combination with -jn (where errors are things failing to launch, and 
therefore not an issue with the build system).

So: it would probably work.  Most of the time.  Just try to avoid 
building really-large-projects-with-ridiculous-build-systems...  Or be 
prepared to re-run your build. :(

(This is all actually hearsay - I tend to avoid building with -j to get 
easier to read logs - so I can't tell you anything about how true they are.)
