Libs in Debian 12/Bookworm are too old for bcachefs-tools. I think
someone pulled it of by forcing some libs from Trixie, but that caused
other things to break.
I am one of the people that butchered bcachefs-tools to work on my
Bookworm/Proxmox 8 machine.
The recent version of bcachefs-tools require liburcu in version 0.14 and
higher.
Debian Bookworm uses 0.13, while Debian Trixie has 0.14.
I asked debian-backports team if they could backport it [1].
In response, I was informed that newer package uses 64bit time_t;
This makes it incompatible with Bookworm and a patch would be needed to
address that.
As my risk factor for this machine is higher than usual, I've created a
setup with:
* LXC container initially set up with Bookworm, containing all build
dependencies.
* I recompiled liburcu8t64 from Trixie to Bookworm
* The package was then force-installed - rendering dpkg package
database with conflicting dependencies.
apt-cache rdepends shows that xfs and glusterfs depends on working
liburcu.
Since I do not use either of them, this is something I can live with.
* Then I built bcachefs-tools
* The resulting bcachefs binary and liburcu8t64 packages were copied
to the target system.
* Finally, I force-installed them, leaving the dpkg database with
broken dependencies.

So what is the best Linux distro to use to compile bcachefs-tools?
There is none until you transfer compiled binary with its dependencies.

I'd recommend you join #bcache at OFTC. This kind of things has been
and still is discussed there and people have found solutions that
worked for them regarding -tools vs Bookworm. My personal "solution"
was to upgrade to Trixie.
Is there a base OS (Fedora?) that people use for development
As far as I know, most of bcachefs development happens on Nix.
which I can use to cross build a package for Debian?
I would suggest upgrading to Trixie. I can't as Proxmox is not
compatible with Trixie yet.
