Not that I know of.  But I tend to focus on providing the general
case for the RTEMS prebuilt tools.

And that's the rub as best I can tell.  If you get enough multilib's
by default to cover all the bases, the installed number of libraries
and disk space consumed grows.  Personally I would like to see
i386-elf include soft-float and variants for i386/486/pentium/k6.
The RTEMS patch includes that but it forces the installation to
be larger.
