crosscompiler toolchain support for diffoscope?

Hi!

I'm attempting to use diffoscope on a bunch of ppc64 binaries (firmware
in fact) that are typically built with a cross compiler (typically one
from buildroot).

unfortunately though, it seems diffoscope is hardcoded to use 'objdump'
as command, and there's no easy way to pass through
CROSS=powerpc64-linux-gnu- or similar in order for it to be able to
disassemble ppc64 asm on my x86 laptop.

Any chance for being able to specify CROSS= or otherwise use a different toolchain?
