It is not some kind of extreme showstopper bug that somehow nobody else 
noticed, it is some specific issue you have with the toolchain.

Your code

import core.thread;
class Foo : Thread {
}
void main() {
}

Does not compile on my machine, it fails with

Error: constructor A.Foo.this no match for implicit super() call in 
constructor

So
1. What version of DMD are you using and on what architecture/OS?
2. What is the actual code that gives a linker error?
3. How do you compile it?
