If there is one, it's probably a rather complicated one.

However, if you can afford it to first install into a scratch
directory, then it might be possible.  Setup a scratch directory
with enough space, say

mkdir /tmp/scratch

Then, go to the built binutils tree, and say

make install DESTDIR=/tmp/scratch

You should now be able to compile the compiler by tweaking PATH to
/tmp/scratch/bin.
