There actually is a problem, but its not exactly the one I thought. If you do this:

make -C lib/Target/CBackend
make -j 3 -C tools

Then you can end up with a broken build. The CBackend library gets updated which
means that llvm-config needs to rebuild. However, that rebuild is normally done
at the end of building lib. With a parallel build llvm-config gets rebuilt at
the same time as other things. However the tools depend on llvm-config to build.
If timing is just right, llvm-config will produce no output (error) and the link
command line for one of the tools will not contain any libraries (or worse)
consequently the tool link either fails outright or you end up with unresolved
symbols (lots of them).
