+Subject: [PATCH] histedit: fix build with musl libc
+
+musl libc defines the optreset BSD extension only in getopt.h. This
+fixes the following build failure:
+
+histedit.c: In function 'histcmd':
+histedit.c:220:2: error: 'optreset' undeclared (first use in this function)
+  optreset = 1; optind = 1; /* initialize getopt */
+  ^~~~~~~~
