The fbConnect implementation should optionally use the friend discovery techniques described here: http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Friend_Linking:_Connecting...

This will allow Drupal sites to learn which of their users are friends with each other on Facebook.

I am new to the dev side of facebook, does the drupal application do friend linking natively per the description of the drupal app or do I need to apply to facebook for the friend linking feature?

I have to admit I don't understand the question. Can you explain?

This issue has nothing to do with linking friends. It has to do with linking a local (Drupal) account with a Facebook account id via Drupal's authmap table.

In http://www.facebook.com/developers/editapp.php?app_id=xx
there is the option to request facebook to allow you to enable "friend Linking" which is the feature the link above points to. For fbconnect do I need to request facebook to enable this feature? Is the "friend linking" feature provided by facebook used by fbconnect?

Since Drupal 5 is no longer supported, I'm taking the liberty to close all FB D5 issues. Issues that haven't moved since D5 are unlikely to still be valid.
