That sounds like a fairly basic problem with your platform. The '-h'
option just prints out some simple explanatory text and exits. It's
the pppd equivalent of a "hello, world" program. It doesn't do much
at all.

If that doesn't work, then I'd expect that either your cross-compiler
is misconfigured, or there are serious problems in the platform
itself. Either way, I don't think I can help.
