   - ls(1) has no -o option
 * OpenWrt and FreeWRT-1.0 fix:
   - since this is not ~/.mkshrc make sure subshells find it

+Subject: [PATCH] Refresh 100-dot_mkshrc for mksh-R55
+
+Additional changes of the patch as of mksh-R55
+* Use content of `/proc/sys/kernel/hostname` to set `$HOSTNAME`, since
+  `hostname` applet isn't compiled into `busybox`.
+* Use `/bin/vi` as fallback `$EDITOR`.
+* Use `/etc/mkshrc` as default startup file, so there is no need to
+  manually source it during interactive session.
