Apple decided to change the behavior of otool for Xcode 8 (how nice of them) and it now throws an error instead of silently ignoring non-object files.

As a workaround, change line 263 of /sw/bin/pathsetup.sh to 

my $otool = '/usr/bin/otool-classic’

(I don’t have the Xcode 8 command-line tools deployed, so I’m not 100% sure that otool-classic is accessible there, however.)
