If I am not mistaken, using a lock on the main build lane (Builder) with waitForFinish=True (and removing max_builds=N) should prevent a second main build from starting before all of the other toolkits finish.

You can think of max_builds as being a crude counting lock per slave (and it sounds like you have a 1:1 Builder to Buildslave ratio).
