I'd #include the conflicting "boost/detail/lightweight_mutex.hpp" directly.

To add a test case, the usual procedure is to add a foo_my_test.cpp file in 
the libs/foo/test directory and a corresponding "run foo_my_test" line in 
the Jamfile. Unfortunately some libraries - pool among them - do not have 
their tests factored out in this way and are instead inlined into 
status/Jamfile.v2. It currently contains

    run libs/pool/test/test_pool_alloc.cpp  test_exec_monitor ;

without even being wrapped in a test-suite. You'll probably need to add a 
second similar line (test_exec_monitor is not necessary for this simple 
test.)
