The "/proc/sys/abi/ldt16" workaround was removed from the mainline Linux kernel two years ago* so the method described in comment #17 is only valid for older kernels. "/proc/sys/abi/ldt16" will not be present in recent or any future kernel versions.

For Ubuntu 15.10 or 16.04, the underlying problem with 16-bit apps should have been resolved by other patches that came in the same timeframe. If that functionality itself isn't working, please file a new bug report.
