I wonder what the result is if you build OpenSSH in 32-bit mode?
The reason I wonder is because "x86-box" == "32-bit" in my world.
Does your system run in 32-bit or 64-bit mode?

So, what happens if you do a `./configure --with-libedit=/usr/lib'
or a `./configure --with-libedit=/usr/lib32'?  I am rather guessing
on the path since I do not know anything about Suse Linux.  Also,
is LD_LIBRARY_PATH unset?  If not, what is it set to?

I dare not guess any more, as I may be stepping out of bounds.
Hopefully, some of the preceding hints may prove useful.
