Can't you just redirect the program's output to /dev/null when you run
the program?

Or close the file descriptor in your program's main() function?

Or duplicate the file descriptor in main() to redirect the output to a file?

Changing the standard library probably isn't necessary.

The relevant code is in libstdc++-v3/src/ios_init.cc
