It depends.  Sometimes it can, sometimes the build only woes on something
four cored in certain phase of moon.

This particular port was easy as it exhibited the problem (due to missing
make target prerequisite) even on my single CPU laptop.

Usually trying to build the port like this is a good start:

  make FORCE_MAKE_JOBS=y MAKE_JOBS_NUMBER=2 (sometimes 3, 4, or 42 might work
  better)
