No, but this is generally not needed. A Linux-capable toolchain is
capable of building userspace applications, but also the Linux kernel
and bootloaders like Barebox, U-Boot, etc (which you could build with
bare metal toolchains).

Have you tried building this small bootloader with the Buildroot
toolchain?

Best regards,
