Had a similar issue this morning after i pulled latest commits.
What worked for me: 'make clean' then 'make'
issue before clean build:
sudo hostapd h_ax.conf
wlan0: interface state UNINITIALIZED->COUNTRY_UPDATE
ACS: Automatic channel selection started, this may take a bit
wlan0: interface state COUNTRY_UPDATE->ACS
wlan0: ACS-STARTED
wlan0: ACS-COMPLETED freq=5745 channel=149
Segmentation fault
