            Bug ID: 2173
           Summary: configure fails to find libedit in non-standard
                    location
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 6.2p1
          Hardware: All
                OS: All

Patch to have configure include '-L' linking parameters for libedit.

Note: this bug is for version 6.4p1, which is not listed in the version
choices in Bugzilla.

When building OpenSSH with a libedit which is not located in a standard
location, 'configure --with-libedit' fails to pick it up.

The reason is that it uses 'pkg-config --libs-only-l libedit', instead
of 'pkg-config --libs libedit', which causes the '-L/path/to/libedit'
to be omitted.

A patch is attached.
