Yes, although you can find the definition in the gcc package.  See
gcc_AC_CHECK_DECLS in gcc/aclocal.m4.  Put it in configure.ac as,
e.g.,
    gcc_AC_CHECK_DECLS(basename asprintf vasprintf)

No, I'm afraid there is not any binutils specific documentation.
Relatively few people use the BFD library outside of the binutils and
gdb.
