Mark's suggested that the pemicro directory needs to be on the PATH. 
Alternatively you might try copying the pemicro dll to a directory that is on 
your path -- or indeed the directory containing the m68k-elf-cfpe-stub program.

Your invokation of the stub is incorrect.  The -t option does not take a linker 
script, but a board initialization configuration.  Unfortunately your 5407 board 
is not supported directly by the stub at this point.  You need to find the 
CodeWarrior configuration file, which I believe will be in

'Program\ Files/Freescale/CodeWarrior\ for\ ColdFire\ 
V6.3/E68K_Support/Initialization_Files/'

and it will be called something like MCF5407evb.cfg

Due to licensing reasons, we are currently unable to distribute those files
