objdump, 64-bit objects and Solaris kernel modules

I am attempting to debug some problems in a 64-bit kernel module on 
Solaris 9 using objdump -dlS to give me a disassembled, source annotated 
listing of the code in question.

The disassembly looks reasonable, but objdump doesn't seem to be able to 
find my source files (to get the source lines), nor does it provide C 
line numbers.

I am using Sun's cc: Forte Developer 7 C 5.4 2002/03/09 and binutils 
2.11.2 (from sunfreeware.com).

I saw a message in late January that sounded similar to this problem, 
and a comment that objdump may not work on 64-bit objects, but nothing 
conclusive.

I'm willing to help debug this problem, but I'll need some pointers on 
where to start.
