I seem to have the same version of wxGTK as you:
equery -q l wxGTK
x11-libs/wxGTK-2.8.12.1-r1

To the best of my knowledge, I did not experience any trouble building
the package in question.

threadpsx.cpp has these two references to 'thread.h':
wxPython-src-2.8.12.1/src/unix/threadpsx.cpp:27,29
#if wxUSE_THREADS

#include "wx/thread.h"

wxPython-src-2.8.12.1/src/unix/threadpsx.cpp:50,52
#ifdef HAVE_THR_SETCONCURRENCY
    #include <thread.h>
#endif

You may want to check if you have this file available on your system:
/usr/include/wx-2.8/wx/thread.h
