This is adjustable in buildings.ruleset:

---
; equiv_dupl    = list of buildings that duplicate this building if
;                 this city is within that building's range (may
;                 still build this, but will have no effect)
; equiv_repl    = list of buildings that replace this building if
;                 this city is within that building's range (not
;                 allowed to build this)
---

You can loose any wonder, may be it should always be possible to build the
equivalent building; but with a clear indication that it has currently no
effect. I think the (*) usually does this.
