I'm trying to compile latest U-boot I downloaded from CVS using the cross compiler I made using crosstool, but getting error without any print outs that I can work with.
General rule: if you don't get any error messages then try running the commands by hand onthe command line.

As you can see, no real helpful message here. If only there was.. I could have solved it :)
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.
