 Which however will not work with the "binary" BFD, as all the debug data 
necessary for the `--source' option to work will have been removed in the 
conversion of the original executable to the raw binary format (if it was 
generated in the first place, that is).

 Contrariwise, if the original ELF binary is available, then the option 
might of course work if `objdump' is used with that original binary.  You 
need to have the matching sources available too as these are not embedded
in binaries created.

 HTH,
