The bug is still there. Rendering the mysql client almost useless. You
can not work efficient with the mysql client without proper keybindings.
Either put mysql pack to readline or make libedit to read .editrc. It's
a pity and it is annoying.

Title:
  libedit no longer reads editrc

Status in libedit package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  strings /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libedit.so.2.0.56 |grep editrc in
  Ubuntu 18.04 LTS returns /.editrc as expected but strings
  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libedit.so.2.0.63 |grep editrc in Ubuntu
  20.04 LTS comes back empty. Verified with strace'ing the mysql client
  as well: editrc is no longer picked up, making mysql rather irritating
  to use. Peeking at the source code, the problematic commit is d253f567
  which wraps the editrc code in an "#ifdef HAVE_ISSETUGID" which is BSD
  only. I am unable to find upstream in version control to help further.
