Yes, it is possible by installing a separate bare-metal compiler using
an additional host package in Buildroot.

You can see https://github.com/bootlin/buildroot-external-st is able to
build the M4 examples from ST. Note that this BR2_EXTERNAL works with a
few patches on Buildroot itself, available at
https://github.com/bootlin/buildroot/commits/st/2021.02. One of the
change is precisely on the bare metal toolchain package.

Best regards,

Thomas
