In GNAT, look at GNAT.OS_Lib.  You can call OS_Exit or OS_Abort.

In other compilers, you can call "exit" or "abort" via pramga Import.

Alternatively, you can abort the environment task.  Look at
Ada.Task_Identification.  If you call Current_Task during library-level
elaboration, you can save the identity of the env task.
