Thank you for your interest in the binutils.

No. But it could be added. Although it would have to be architecture
specific, and it may not be that useful since on many architectures the
number of clock cycles taken by an instruction depends upon a variety of
factors, not just the instruction itself.
If you are interested in writing a patch for the binutils that implements
such a feature we would be happy to review it - and answer questions you
may have about how to do it.
Cheers
Nick
