/home/aik/p/qemu/configure --target-list=aarch64-softmmu
--source-path=/home/aik/p/qemu/ --disable-git-update --with-git=false
   --enable-trace-backend=log

and

make -C /home/aik/pbuild/qemu-localhost-aarch64-rel/ -j24 check

did not produce segv. I am running this all on a power8 box + ubuntu
1804, what is your config?
