I've tried hard to install binutil with HomeBrew onto osx 10.11, finally succeed, but objdump still doesn't work. The response given by terminal is as follow: 

MacBook-Pro:~ Mars$ brew install binutils
==> Downloading https://homebrew.bintray.com/bottles/binutils-2.26.el_capitan.bo
Already downloaded: /Library/Caches/Homebrew/binutils-2.26.el_capitan.bottle.tar.gz
==> Pouring binutils-2.26.el_capitan.bottle.tar.gz
  /usr/local/Cellar/binutils/2.26: 109 files, 140.3M
MacBook-Pro:~ Mars$ objdump
-bash: objdump: command not found

Anybody can help?

To avoid conflicts with the utilities distributed by Apple, the binutils executables installed by Homebrew all have "g" prefixed to their names (so, for instance, objdump becomes gobjdump).

you need to update your $PATH to include the homebrew install location. you probably want to look at other places people have asked this question like:
