In my experience the answer is "no" [see RM 6.3.1 (11)].

You could wrap you're own inlined function but I'm not even sure what 
you would get with that - try it and check the assembler. E.g.

    function Add (L, R : Float'Base) return Float'Base;
    pragma Inline (Ada);
...
    function Add (L, R : Float'Base) return Float'Base is
    begin
       return L + R;
    end Add;

Why are you worried about this?
