I'm not sure. My daily use of bash is not impaired by the lack of 
fdescfs. I have, however, enabled fdescfs on an experimental system, 
as per the instructions in shells/bash/pkg-message. Thus, my effort to 
try and keep rkhunter happy on said system.

<(command) / >(command) syntax requires it on many platforms. Although I'm
told this is actually something of a configure (or configuration) bug and
it may not actually be needed in all cases; the bash port's notes do
specify that it is needed though.
