Have the glibc build use the cross-objdump, rather than the host one.
On some distros (eg. Fedora), the native objdump can not interpret objects not for the native system, and thus fail.
This commit adds a new patch against glibc-2.7 that introduces OBJDUMP_FOR_HOST, wich, if set, overides the detected objdump.

Note: bizarely enough, glibc already has code to detect the cross-objdump, but that does not work for an unknown reason... :-(

     1 Glibc does not build: asm/page.h not found
     2 
     3 As of linux-2.6.25, asm/page.h is no longer exported.
     4 This means the glibc up to and including 2.6 will not build against headers
     5 exported from linux-2.6.25 and up. Starting with glibc-2.6.1, patches are
     6 available that solves the issue. Switch to at least 2.6.1 if you can, or try
     7 to backport the fix (should be quite easy).
