I've never noticed any issues with parallel builds. I use the following
build script (NetBSD sources are kept under /opt/src and /opt/xsrc) to
build either sets or complete release:
MACHINE_ARCH=amd64
WORK_DIR=/opt
# Build sets
#cd $WORK_DIR/src && /bin/sh ./build.sh -j 4 -u -m $MACHINE_ARCH \
# -X $WORK_DIR/xsrc \
# -O $WORK_DIR/obj.$MACHINE_ARCH -T $WORK_DIR/tools.$MACHINE_ARCH \
# distribution sets 2>&1 | tee /scripts/log.$MACHINE_ARCH
# Build complete release
cd $WORK_DIR/src && /bin/sh ./build.sh -j 4 -u -m $MACHINE_ARCH \
-X $WORK_DIR/xsrc \
-O $WORK_DIR/obj.$MACHINE_ARCH -T $WORK_DIR/tools.$MACHINE_ARCH \
release 2>&1 | tee /scripts/log.$MACHINE_ARCH
