Well, I'm not an expert in TCP wrappers. I suppose it's os-independent
in that it is probably something you install as an extra. OTOH, it's
os-dependent in that you might install it in various places. For all I
know, there may be an OS that has it installed as standard and you don't
need -lwrap at all.
I'm afraid I rather assumed that anybody who had installed TCP wrappers
on their system would know how to build programs to use it. This was a
mistake, so I added what little I knew to the Exim manual. I will add a
bit more to the EDITME (but probably not till Exim 4).
