All of the programs from the binutils package are located in /usr/bin. They are:

addr2line ar as c++filt dwp elfedit gold gprof ld ld.bfd ld.gold nm objcopy objdump ranlib readelf size strings strip

You can use the following command in a terminal:

dpkg-query -L binutils | grep -oP "/usr/bin/\K([a-zA-Z\.-_\+]+$)" | sort
addr2line
ar
as
c++filt
dwp
elfedit
gold
gprof
ld
ld.bfd
ld.gold
nm
