Well you have 3 types of flags that you can pass when building a program 
relating to speed, use of memory, binary size, maths calculations, 
dynamic loading and shared code in memory and lots of other nice things 
which are fun to play with when you dont care if you mess your system 
up. Those are CFLAGS, ASFLAGS and LDFLAGS which are compiler flags, 
assembler flags and linker flags respectively. Basically, if you dont 
know what they are then you didn't set them. :)

Not having used hostapd i cant really help, it just looked like a linker 
problem. Have a look through the deps again.
