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.
