printf should not write to monitor (if you mean QEMU monitor), it
should go to stdout.
I don't have ARM compiler set up ATM, but x86_64 with the following
patch does what I describe:

$ git diff

$ cat a.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    printf("Hello, world\n");
    return 0;
}

$ gcc -static a.c -o a
$ qemu-all/root/bin/qemu-x86_64 ./a
Hello, world
TARGET_NR_exit_group

I'm in "arm user space" with "sigle step mode". I want write "exit\n" in 
linux shell (no QEMU monitor) when emulate code arrives to "return 0"

Ok, what do you execute and where? Is it qemu-arm or qemu-system-arm?
In the latter case do you use -semihosting?

What is "ARM user space"?
How is it all related to single step mode?
Which linux shell do you mean, guest or host?

Please, don't top-post.

Ok, and you build 'prog' as a static linux ELF for ARM?
What does

qemu-arm -strace prog

print?

As its name suggests, arm-elf-gcc builds bare-metal ELF that wouldn't
run on linux, doesn't it?
And what about the other question, what does qemu-arm -strace prog print?
