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). > Specifically, I'm trying to build a small bootloader for the microblaze > architecture.

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