We don't claim to only support x86 hosts, so yes.

Bitbake threads or make tasks?  I'm not sure on the former, but for
the latter the range is effectively infinite - if make can spawn 2000
sub-makes it will (depending on the makefile).  This is effectively a
fork bomb so I don't recommend it though ;)
