binutils not installing ld and as

No.  There are not built/installed because of the top level configure file.  Have
a search for "darwin" and you should eventually find an entry like this:

  x86_64-*-darwin[912]*)
    noconfigdirs="$noconfigdirs ld gas gprof"
    noconfigdirs="$noconfigdirs sim target-rda"
 
So quite a few tools are not built for MAC OS based hosts.

Cheers
