You should use pipes then.

objdump -d foo.x | egrep 'ld.*\$[0-3][^0-9]'

There are so many ways to search, and so many existing tools that
search different ways, and so many types of syntax that the different
binutils targets use, that it would not be practical to attempt to put
such capabilities in the binutils themselves.
