Not out of the box, because we number labels which will clash but we
also do smarter tihngs like producing constant pools based on whole unit
knowledge.
But it should not be technically that hard: simply initialize asm output
before fork to one file, in each fork arrange separate file and avoid
priting the end of file stuff and then concatenate in the main compiler
and work out the places where this breaks...
