Not having /dev/fd in the chroot would cause the problem as described.

Normally /dev/fd is a symlink pointing to /proc/self/fd.  If built in
a chroot without /dev/fd available then the configure tests will
deduce that it cannot be used and avoid it.  That's undesirable.

If inside the chroot /proc is a 'bind' mount to the real /proc and
also if /dev/fd in the chroot symlinks to /proc/self/fd as it would
normally outside the chroot then the configure test should deduce the
desired setting automatically.
