This bug was fixed in the package fglrx-installer-updates - 2:15.201-0ubuntu2~15.10.2

---------------
fglrx-installer-updates (2:15.201-0ubuntu2~15.10.2) wily-proposed; urgency=medium

  * debian/rules:
    - Blacklist the amdgpu driver, so that fglrx can be loaded
      on the systems where the GPU is supported by amdgpu (LP: #1510573).

fglrx-installer-updates (2:15.201-0ubuntu2~15.10.1) wily-proposed; urgency=medium

  * debian/control.in,
    debian/dkms.conf.in,
    dkms/patches/force-gcc-to-4.9-instead-of-5.x.patch:
    - Add a dependency on gcc-4.9, and force fglrx to use gcc-4.9.
      This prevents fglrx from dying on initialisation (LP: #1493888).
      Credit for finding out the actual problem and for suggesting a
      workaround goes to David Burrows.
      Note: this is only a workaround, and it will be dropped as soon
      as a proper fix from upstream is available.
