This worked for me from -proposed: 2:15.201-0ubuntu2~15.10.1
I am now able to install and activate the fglrx graphics drivers.
A new problem is that my multimonitor setup was working fine without the fglrx
drivers, but now has been broken:
Monitor 1 (connected to AMD card)
Monitor 2 (connected to AMD card)
Monitor 3 (connected to integrated intel controller)
Only the two monitors connected to the AMD discrete graphics card will
work with fglrx installed. The monitor connected to the integrated intel
graphics controller is not detected. Looking around, this seems to be a
separate and unrelated problem to the fglrx issues this bug is written
against.

Title:
FGLRX incompatible with gcc 5
Status in Release Notes for Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in fglrx-installer package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in fglrx-installer source package in Wily:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
SRU Request:
[Impact]
The fglrx driver is not compatible with gcc 5.x. This causes the
kernel module to crash on initialisation. As a result, users will boot
into a black screen, as X will fail (except on Intel+AMD hybrid
systems, where intel is used).
[Test Case]
1. Either install (or upgrade to) Ubuntu 15.10 and fglrx
2. Reboot
3. Check the display, and the output of the "dmesg | grep fglrx" command (to
see the actual crash)
Expected results: the system should be able to start X correctly.
Actual results:
The kernel module fails and X doesn't start.
[Regression Potential]
Low. Forcing fglrx to use gcc 4.9 is only a temporary workaround, and will be
replaced with the proper fix once AMD makes it available.
__________________________________________________________________________
With a R9 280 and FGLRX on ubuntu 15.10 the graphics lock up. I am
able to SSH into the machine. I booted the older kernel
(4.1.0-3-generic) and it works with FGLRX. After purging FGLRX and
using xserver-xorg-video-radeon I am able to get the graphics working,
but even it has issues with my display port (The DVI ports are working
correctly).
