I am not aware of any way to turn only the status stream off from the
command-line.  And if you cannot find it in the source code (it is really,
really easy to find), you should not be making changes in the source code at
all because you are most likely going to break more than anything else.

If you just want your debug messages somewhere, redirect the debug stream
(or all the streams you want) to a file and redirect all console output from
POV-Ray to /dev/null via the shell.
