A "better way" that I use is:
BuildRequires: /usr/include/tcpd.h
Works everywhere.

I think this is discouraged by guidelines because it makes the depsolver
work *much* harder to figure out which package the require actually
resolves as.  At least I know I've been told to avoid it when practical.

Of course, maybe fixing that is just a small performance fix in rpm ...


It doesn't make the depsolver work harder. It makes the user/builder download all the filelists metadata to do this look up - so it is a pain for users on slow/bad connections.
