In retrospect, that wasn't very clear either. gah.
I mean a way to make e.g. calls to printf output through the
simulator (implement "_write" in newlib IIRC), and for calls to
abort and invalid pointer accesses to make the simulator exit
with an error code. So, you can't say all memory is valid and
have a "char mem[0x10000];" in the simulator - NULL and nearby
should be invalid.
