:) The answer is "don't do that".  Use positive values in the range from
:) 0 to 255.  See
:) http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/exit.html

I wouldn't do that. The problem is other did it before me and I need running
their .exes in my GNUmakefile.

The following prototype would prevent people getting such exit(-2) great ideas:

void exit(unsigned status);
