That effectively create 2 new recipes tcp-wrappers-native and
nativesdk-tcp-wrappers. That is not a trivial change that I can take
without a clear and strong justification.

What "dependency resolution failures" did you see?

Also, can you check that tcp-wrapper-native builds on Fedora 41? This is
the scarthgap supported distro with the most recent GCC : gcc-14 (and it
usually trigger build failures on old/unmaintained packages)

Finally, OE-Core master did remove the recipe for it being really
unmaintained[0]. This is not a good sign :/
