No, not currently and AFAIK there are no plans to add this.
Chibi would seem a more likely candidate, but I don't see an option
to compile that without floating-point support right now, either.
Of course, patches are welcome if they're not too ugly or invasive,
which this kind of thing unfortunately can be. Perhaps a good
starting point is the -msoft-float compiler option - at least this
should allow us to keep floating-point support.
Cheers,
Peter
