Just a follow up on this - I was able to resolve the issue with the
following modifications in the volk_config file:

before:          volk_32fc_32f_multiply_32fc a_avx generic
changed to:   volk_32fc_32f_multiply_32fc generic generic

before:          volk_32fc_deinterleave_64f_x2 a_avx u_avx
changed to:   volk_32fc_deinterleave_64f_x2 generic u_avx


While I'm happy to have it working again, I don't exactly know what this
modification actually does. If anyone with knowledge of the volk library
can give me a quick bit of info about what these modifications are actually
doing and / or why this would resolve the segfault issue, it would ease my
mind a bit.

Thanks,

-Mike
