Works fine for me.
Or rather, it works fine if I switch to a bash shell.  The syntax with 
backslashed double quotes is not accepted by my default shell.

What exactly have you changed since it was last working?
If you say "everything", that's going to be hard to debug.
Can we at least try to distinguish between a build-time problem

Does your previous executable work if run on the "freshly installed Fedora 23"?

Nope.  But I'm not using Fedora.
I gave up on it long ago because it is depressingly prone to shipping
not-quite-working-yet bleeding edge versions of random stuff
my code depends on.
