Examining generated code
The following HotSpot options (with an -XX: prefix on the command line) require OpenJDK 7 and an externally loadable disassembler plugin:
...
The disassembly output is annotated with various kinds of debugging information, such as field names and source locations. The quality of this information improved markedly in January 2010 (bug fix 6912062).

Look at the README for instructions on building.
With recent binutils version (i.e. binutils-2.23.2) you may get the following build error:
WARNING: `makeinfo' is missing on your system. You should only need it if
you modified a `.texi' or `.texinfo' file, or any other file
...
This is because of "Bug 15345 - [2.23.2 regression] binutils-2.23.2 tarball doesn't build without makeinfo". The simplest workaround is to touch 'bfd/doc/bfd.info' in the biuntils source directory.
Pre-built binaries do not seem to be available (help... anyone?). Prebuilt binaries for Windows-x86: hsdis-i386.dll
