Does running a parallel "make -jN check" work safely?

So running the testsuite is taking forever, especially since I like to
use extra passes with -fpic or multilib flags.
I'm wondering whether running "make -jN check" is safe. I'm
especially concerned about the possibility of the extra passes and
those tests using the same executable name for their output. If I
could run even -j2 and cut the time in half it would be a vast
improvement.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
