General rule: if you don't get any error messages  then  try  running
the commands by hand onthe command line.

Most probably either the  invocation  of  "powerpc-linux-objdump"  or
that  of  "powerpc-linux-ld"  fail with a segmentation violation. Try
running these commands step by step on the command line.

I bet there will be an error message from your shell.

Best regards,
