How about using "GNU find"-compatible options?
i.e. -fprint and -fprint0?
The option -fprint and -fprint0 take a filename as its parameter,
instead of file descriptor number.

This could be written as follows in GNU find:
   find / \( -name "*.core" -fprint /dev/fd/5 \) -o \
	  \( -user joe -fprint /dev/fd/6 \) \
	5>core.dumps 6>joes.files
