Well, 'main' function is now called using the 'CALL' instruction instead 
'JMP'. But on devices which  have hardware stack we permanently lose 1 stack 
level from 3, that can lead error in projects for 'avr1' devices. I suggest 
to use for 'avr1' devices JMP instruction for calling 'main' function.

PS: Björn, please, create one patch for one change.  It will be easy to 
understand and testing.
