...for some level of completeness in case this comes up again: it is not
libedit that is at fault here. I downloaded the src for versions 2 amd 3
and neither setproctitle not optreset are defined anywhere. Looking at
my Ubuntu install reveals:

$ ldd /usr/lib/libedit.so.2
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fffd1bd3000)
libbsd.so.0 => /lib/libbsd.so.0 (0x00007ff219cc9000)
libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x00007ff219a85000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007ff219701000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00007ff2194fd000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007ff21a120000)

What's this libbsd then eh? Sure enough it is this guy that defines
these symbols. So it is the way it is being built on the Ubuntu (or
Debian) platform.
