The error lies in the linker/toolchain that was used to build libffado. 
I'm not sure exactly what the implications are here, but do know that 
the scope of the problem is far wider than just jack/libffado.

I'll wait until the binutils maintainer completes his investigation, 
before commenting on what the final outcome will be, but I'm sure we can 
come up with a solution prior to F15 release.

Even if F15 shipped with the current linker we could patch libffado to 
use a different one (ld.gold for example).

For those users who are not using firewire interfaces simply moving 
/deleting /usr/lib64/jack/jack_firewire.so / or 
/usr/lib/jack/jack_firewire.so will enable jackd to start.

In the meantime, I will try and prepare a working libffado package for 
testing

Stay tuned.
