Why not? I would expect it to work and it works with most applications. 
YOu have SMP you want to use it :) For gnustep it is something that 
breaks sometimes and works sometimes.

Most Gentoo users will have -j 2 set as their default options, since the 
system suggests that. Now policies about which number to use are source 
of discussion, but setting it to the number of CPU's you have is a safe 
bet.
