Hello list,

Hi.  The sources you seek are actually part of the GNU Coreutils package.
Others you mentioned are part of the binutils package.

If you are running a debian based distro, you can run the following 
command to find the package it belongs to:

dpkg -S `which objdump`

You should get something like this:

binutils: /usr/bin/objdump

Then you can simply grab the source for that package:

apt-get source binutils.

Any reason you can't just ask http://google.com/linux these questions?
That's what I do when I have similar questions.
