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.
It's not a problem in this case though because it's a buildreq that's
resolved once on the buildsystem and has no impact on end users at all.
