As Daryle said that setting this macro might result in missing some 
important test cases, I opted for increasing the number of pending 
instantiations in my user configuration.

If there is a supported Boost.Build feature (is there?) to specify a 
maximum number of pending instantiations, we could even add this to the 
Jamfile for the test in questions.

Or is there a specific reason that you don't want to set this compiler 
parameter for the regression tests?
