If you are prepared to compile your own GNU binutils (Eric recently
posted a pointer here for a description what is needed to do this),
you're welcome to become an alpha tester for the GNU binutils patch
that enables objcopy to convert ELF/stabs debugging information to
COFF debugging information.  I'd hope it'll solve your problem as
well.

(Right now, i'm still producing source patches every day or every
second day, that's why i require alpha testers to be able to compile
their own binaries -- lacking MS Windows, i cannot do this myself.)

It goes to nowhere the way you're doing it.  You need to fdevopen() a
device (and to supply your own routines to put a character down to
whatever device you've chosen -- there's a sample routine in the docs
for simple UART output).

Anyway, the classical C "hello world" application is certainly not
suited very well for a microcontroller environment:

. printf() & Co are huge, they probably won't even fit into a 2 KB
  device

. it requires you to have at least a V.24 interface (which apart from
  the UART, requires you to have the level converters)

. it requires quite a bit more of hardware setup and system
  initialization than what i'd consider a good beginner's project

. with AVR studio lacking any form of terminal emulation connected to
  a U(S)ART of the AVR, you stand no chance to simulate it there (*)

That's why avr-libc comes with that small little demo.c project, that
is fully explained, and requires nothing more but a simple LED
connected to a port pin.

(*) There used to be some stupid TTY ``emulation'' in AVR Studio 3
that is not even supported yet again in AVR Studio 4.  It's been done
by a cruel hack that we could perhaps eventually also support in
avr-gcc/avr-libc, but it bypasses any actual UART simulation.  In
contrast, VMLAB can simulate a true TTY connected to a simulated UART
(including the gibberish you get if you miss to select the correct
baud rate ;-).
