  Yep.

http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/SSH%20connection%20caching

"  To create the socket, you need to open a master connection. Just ssh to
gcc.gnu.org using the ControlMaster (-M) option. You don't need to run a
command on the remote side, so you should also use -N (no command). Another
useful option is -f (fork to the background). Putting this together, this
brings to the command line shown above (ssh -fMN).

Note that the open connection has your authentication tokens to the remote
server. If you leave the machine where you started the master SSH session, you
should usually kill it.  "
