One possibility is to write to flash as if it were EEPROM.  Use the
couple pages of flash to store data.  If you go to the Atmel website you
should be able to find examples of writing to flash.  I believe they are
made using the IAR compiler, but the functions are short enough that
they are easy to translate into GCC, if any translation is even required
(I did it a while back so I don't remember, but I at least don't recall
having any difficulties doing it).

One important thing to remember if you use those examples, the flushPage
and AT91F_Flash_Status functions MUST be in RAM for it to work.  For
more information on putting functions in RAM, search the examples Martin
put together and look for ramfunc and fastrun.
