No. This would conflict with GCC's conventions.

But what would work is to install the apps somewhere outside of %{_bindir},
e.g
/usr/lib/sdcc/bin
or
/usr/libexec/sdcc
and to install symlinks or wrapper scripts named "sdcc-<app>" into %{_bindir}

Other packages wanting to use the "non-prefixed" versions then could apply
PATH=/usr/lib/scdc/bin:$PATH (or similar) to access the unprefixed versions.
