Yes, fldigi is broken in F16 and rawhide. It has some depreciated code
in it for fltk 1.1, F16 uses fltk 1.3. So it pukes when you try to build
it. Fixing it is beyond my expertise.

Upstream knows about it but I haven't heard anything back from them in a
while so I don't know how far along they are at fixing it. Last I heard
there were efforts being made to make it work with fltk 1.3.
