FUSE, gvfs and the CIFS VFS are all much better options which do not require knowing every possible libc entry point that can deal with a file descriptor. As an example of the maintainence that would be required to keep this going, recent changes to deal with thread races and close-on-exec have resulted in dup3(), but this isn't currently mapped. While this would not be hard to add, it illistrates why it is better to move to an interface designed for this task.
