If it's just to get an exit code out of the program or destinguish 
between exit/abort, that's easy with avrtest:  Just write to a "magic" 
port. See the exit.c used in avr-gcc testsuite:

http://winavr.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/winavr/avrtest/dejagnuboards/exit.c?revision=1.3&view=markup

Testsuite runs simply link the respective exit.o to the test case's code.
