It can be fixed by editing src/Makefile.  This works for me on NetBSD 1.5.2,
x86 platform:

--- src/Makefile        Wed Apr 24 23:30:33 2002
+++ /tmp/Makefile.fixed Wed Apr 24 23:28:28 2002

 DEFS = -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I$(srcdir) -I.
 CPPFLAGS =
-LDFLAGS =
+LDFLAGS = -lwrap
 LIBS =  -lfl /devel/build/libol-0.3.2/src/.libs/libol.a
 syslog_ng_OBJECTS =  main.o sources.o center.o filters.o destinations.o \
 log.o cfgfile.o cfg-grammar.o cfg-lex.o affile.o afsocket.o afunix.o \

My configure options were:

 ./configure  --prefix=/install/syslog-ng-1.5.16 --enable-tcp-wrapper --with-libol=/src/build/libol-0.3.2    

And the relevant output from configure was:

 checking for hosts_access in -lwrap... no
 checking whether to enable TCP wrapper support... yes

So clearly something is broken in the configure process.
