Yes.  Change ZS_HWFLAG_CONABRT to 0 on line 680 of zs.c.

Where would you store such a file?  If you're putting single- vs.
multi-user boot in that file, you don't want it on the filesystem
for several reasons.  Maybe there should be an ioctl or something
to disable the brk into the debugger.  Maybe.

For the mklinux one?  No.  There's apparently too much Apple-proprietary
info in it.  They are changing how they boot when they start supporting
the PCI boxes, and they'll be publishing sources for that bootstrap.
