Is it safe to build Vim with "make -j"?

All,

Is it safe to use "make -j" when building vim (either as
"make -j 2", for example, or plain "make -j" to build with
an "unlimited" number of simultaneous jobs)?

While it appears to work, I know that Makefiles are not always
written with full dependencies in place, which can cause parallel
build to fail, so I wanted to check whether parallel building
of Vim is known to be safe.

Thanks,
Michael Henry
