When analyzing perf data from hosts of other architecture than one of the local
host it's useful to call objdump that is part of a toolchain for that
architecture. Instead of calling regular objdump, call one that user specified
in command line.

Why not set the PATH to make the toolchain's version the one used by perf?

At least one reason is that cross toolchains are usually built such that
the resulting binaries are called <target>-objdump, <target>-gcc etc.
