Don't call in stdio. Try this:

_main()
{
	write(1, "Hello world\n", 12);
}

Or if you're not into counting:

_main()
{
	writes(1, "Hello world\n");
	_exit();
}

writes(fd, s)
int fd;
char *s;
{
	return write(fd, s, strlen(s));
}

strlen(s)
char *s;
{
	int len = 0;

	while(*s) {
		s++;
		len++;
	}
	return len;
}

Or you can even use the AmigaDos calls instead of the UNIX-style calls
and get it down near the 30 byte mark.
