I need to redirect all logs to stdout, but this doesn't work on Linux.
/dev/stdout on Linux is a symlink into /proc and the device ownership

Are you saying that, on Linux, the permissions on /dev/stdout are not
0666? That is just silly.
Anyway, if I have some time I will try to create a workaround.
 

Hmm, Redhat 7.2 here ...
$ ls -l /dev/stdout
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           17 Oct 24  2002 /dev/stdout -> 
../proc/self/fd/1

no problem afaik :).
