good idea.  here's a scan on my system of all _rl_ symbols.
$ scanelf -qRygs '-^_rl.*' /bin/ /sbin/ /lib64/ /usr/lib64/ /usr/bin/ /usr/sbin/
_rl_malloc  
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.22.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/Term/ReadLine/Gnu/Gnu.so
_rl_erase_entire_line,_rl_qsort_string_compare  /usr/bin/gdb

i would point out that these are the symbols libedit exports:
_rl_abort_internal,_rl_qsort_string_compare,_rl_print_completions_horizontally  
/usr/lib64/libedit.so.0.0.47
