I think size utility do the same function as ppc_8xx-size.
It depends on the build options if it supports the target architecture or not.
I tried 4 cross tools and the result is the same. (Logs are below) And in man page you can find: "size can automatically recognize many formats" in --target option.
The "in --target option" is the important part here.
From my point of view is size utility better than error message.
And I think that many developers use different cross tools than ppc_8xx-.
Which error message? If you set CROSS_COMPILE to any sane value for your system, or set it to the empty string, no error will be caused.
Please show which error you are trying to fix.
