Yes, this seems to be the same problem as with running calibre on f21 / rawhide:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1124987

Esp see:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1124987#c15

You could try this glibc scratch build, which increases the static TLS limit:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=7429597

Grab it while it is still around, it will likely be recycled soon. If this helps
you should probably file a bug against glibc in Fedora, linking to the calibre
bug report.
