I had the same problem when I tried to do (more or less) the same with uClibc.
The problem was that IPTables is linked to libraries which (presumably)
aren't located in /lib/... ! You can verify this by checking the header of the
ELF executables...
The static linking would fix it, but causes precious bytes to be ``wasted''!

I solved the problem simply by setting the SHARED_LIB_LOAD_PATH variable of 
uClibc ``Config'' file to "/lib". Now, each and every program is linked to
this path and _should_ fix the problem.
