Fedora 24 beta was released yesterday at
https://getfedora.org/en/workstation/prerelease/
This afternoon, I created a new virtual machine from its ISO image,
installed a boatload of packages that I typically need, and then built
TeX Live 2016 from a snapshot taken earlier today. The new binaries
are in the collection at
http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/texlive/
bringing the binary count to 75.
Fedora 24 ships with gcc-6.0.0 20160406 as its default, and currently
only, gcc. It also has clang 3.8.0. [We noticed earlier today that
the Macports collection on Mac OS X 10 now has an early clang 3.9.0.]
Fedora 24 has this version of texlive in its package system:
% /bin/tex --version
TeX 3.14159265 (TeX Live 2016/dev)
kpathsea version 6.2.2dev
% ls -l /bin/tex
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 357216 Feb 16 14:14 /bin/tex
Thus, the TL2016/dev build is fairly old, but at least they are trying
to get this year's TeX Live into production.
