Tried and it works, with forcing symlink on iptables-static.
hinkok@alala /tmp/iptables-1.4.1.1 $ rm iptables
hinkok@alala /tmp/iptables-1.4.1.1 $ ln -s iptables-static iptables
hinkok@alala /tmp/iptables-1.4.1.1 $ sudo ./iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j DROP
hinkok@alala /tmp/iptables-1.4.1.1 $

Are there some cynimic libraries that are pulled in from somewhere (probably destdir installation dir)?
