That looks like compiler output, not disassembly --- it hasn't been relocated to a particular place (and link-time relaxation might even change its size, I don't know if OSX's linker does that).

You can disassemble in gdb/lldb or using otool.

I'd suggest using the 'atos' utility as a first try, though, especially if you have the dSYM bundle for that exact build available.
