I see. This is actually a packaging bug then: thread_test.c ought to be
part of the -base split, not the -opt split, because -opt is
specifically stated not to be required to build the base package.

Probably the easiest way to handle that is to move src/tools/thread/
someplace else in the directory tree, because the rest of src/tools/
doesn't seem to belong in -base.
