The --show-libraries option will give a list of things that can be passed
to --with and --without options. From that output, it seems that

        --without-thread

is the correct spelling. However, some other libraries might still depend
on thread, in particular, the wave library does. So, you need --without-wave
as well. In general, the --debug-building option may be use to figure what
has triggered a build of specific target.
