well, I'm using buildroot for the whole thing and the way it sets it up is that /dev/log is a link to /tmp/log, and /tmp is mounted as tmpfs. I think this is to allow for logging to memory on readonly systems, as tmpfs would be writable. It appears to have full permissions also. Unless I'm missing something, but I don't see any way to configure this in buildroot.
