Have a look here [1] 3.2.1.2. Core System Development, and [2]

I did have troubles in the past. When I built e.g. for 2 different
boards both using the same compiler and the same sstate funny things
happened when 2 machines tried to work on the same package at the same
time. But everything should be fine as long as things work sequentially.
Don't know if the sstate mechanism works concurrently in the meantime.

shared state works (and as a matter of fact everything on an nfs share
would work)
