It should be using /dev/fd. As Chet said, figure out if the configure run when building bash decided it wasn't there for some reason.
Also, test that /dev/fd is working right on the Hurd, e.g.: $ exec 5> foobar $ ls -li /dev/fd/5 foobar $ exec 5>&- This won't pretend to be a symlink like Linux's /proc/self/fd (/dev/fd) does. It will just resolve the lookup to the node, so you should see the same info for /dev/fd/5 and foobar. /dev/fd is implemented by /hurd/magic (trans/magic.c) and client-side magic in glibc (same deal as /dev/tty). If the translator is in place and working right, then the problem may be on the glibc end. But AFAIK nothing in this area has changed in a very long time. Of course, named pipes ought to work too and presumably bash uses them correctly. So you might also want to independently test using named pipes by hand.
