BUILD_OBJDUMP would use BUILD_PREFIX
HOST_OBJDUMP (or OBJDUMP) should use HOST_PREFIX

HOST_PREFIX should never be undefined. How are you working out its
undefined?

When running an arm build, HOST_PREFIX might be "arm-linux-" so the
objdump used would be arm-linux-objdump. Note that if arm-linux-objdump
isn't in PATH, that would be a problem.

For comparison BUILD_PREFIX would be "i686-linux-" on my system and
using "i686-linux-objdump" which wouldn't make sense on arm binaries
when packaging.
