KyL416: No, Debian packages cannot be dynamically linked with binutils:

Package: binutils-dev
Description: The GNU binary utilities (BFD development files)
 This package includes header files and static libraries necessary to build
 programs which use the GNU BFD library, which is part of binutils. Note that
 building Debian packages which depend on the shared libbfd is Not Allowed.
