I finished building wayland enabled (but otherwise standard) qt5 and vlc
in a stock 14.2 x86_64 VM with opencv-legacy. It runs normally - no
segfault and I can play a test video with it.

When run it from a terminal, the only new output is:
    libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate
but it has no apparent effect to the running vlc.

Since you're segfault-free after removing opencv-legacy, I guess that's
the place to look for a cause - perhaps some exotic option it's built with?
