It seems to me that the proper solution to make ssh/sftp work as on
other UNIX platforms is compile it without using the "--with-libedit":
the functions provided by libedit are not necessary to run ssh/sftp and
not that useful in use ssh/sftp also: the openssh is used on all other
UNIX platforms without the libedit, and I don't think those UNIX
vendors have received any meaningful number of complaints for not
having libedit. With libedit, openssh lost control to the tty settings
which caused end user not able to control whether they want to hide the
sftp sub-commands.
