On Gentoo, collectd <= 5.0.2 will not load the iptables plugin : https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=375733
5.0.3 will not even allow me to build the module :

checking for iptc_handle_t... no
checking for ip6tc_handle_t... no
checking for iptc_init in -liptc... no
(...)
libiptc . . . . . . . no
(...)
iptables . . . . . . no (dependency error)

There is an issue with the libiptc dependency. I don't know how to help diagnose it any further, but I'd be glad to help.
