Use $(OBJDUMP) instead of literal 'objdump' to avoid
using host toolchain when cross compiling.

I'm still having issues here, with ld.

Hi Andrew,

That's because the Makefile does `HOSTCC:=$(CC)` which replaces the
tools compiler with the target one.
The problem is that for i386 and x86_64 the compiler is the same, it's
just called with different arguments, -m32 and -m64.
This ends up with mixed i386 and x86_64 binaries which obviously can't
link together.

Personally I think that we should add infrastructure to build target
progs like we do with hostprogs-y instead of keeping messing with
variables and flags. If you want a quick and dirty hack to build it,
I'm using this.

Regards,
