Hmmm.  Are you running with a serial console?  I do, and it all works
as expected.

Some keys, like <Ctrl-U> required CONFIG_FEATURE_EDITING_FANCY_KEYS=y,
but <Ctrl-C> does not.  BTW this is handled in libbb/lineedit.c

Note also that some config item names changed between 1.2 and 1.8, did
you account for that?
