Boost.Build has the feature c++-template-depth for specifying that compiler 
option so it may be more appropriate to use that. I think the value needs to 
be divisible by 10 or 64 so the closest would be <c++-template-depth>256.

It seems strange that Boost.Serialization tests would need a template depth 
of 255 when libraries with heavy use of template meta-programming can get by 
with 128. Are you sure there's not a bug somewhere?
