Setting up cross-compilation takes my time, compiling locally only the computer's, thus I am sticking to the latter...
Anyway, yes, just disabling the crash dump option fixes the boot.
It MIGHT be possible that selecting RELOCATEABLE would also work, but I suspect
it would have a performance impact and just going back to the previous,
working config seems a better option to me for the PPC port...
