SDL_Init segfault on linux

Question

I am using Manjaro linux and SDL 2. However, when I build the application in debug mode and use gdb or something like qtcreator with gdb, to debug it, it gives me a segfault, when the function SDL_Init() is called. The code I am trying this with:

#include <iostream>
#include <SDL2/SDL.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    if (SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO) < 0)
    {
        printf("SDL Init error: %s", SDL_GetError());
        return -1;
    }

    SDL_Window *window = SDL_CreateWindow("window", 10, 120, 800, 640, 0);

    SDL_Renderer *ren = SDL_CreateRenderer(window, -1, SDL_RENDERER_ACCELERATED);
    
    bool running = true;
    while (running)
    {
        SDL_Event e;
        if (SDL_PollEvent(&e) != 0)
        {
            switch(e.type)
            {
                case(SDL_QUIT): running = false;
            }
        }

        SDL_RenderClear(ren);

        SDL_RenderPresent(ren);
    }

    SDL_DestroyRenderer(ren);
    SDL_DestroyWindow(window);
    SDL_Quit();
    return 0;
}

I then recompiled SDL for debugging and went into the source, to find out this function in SDL.c is actually the cause:

        if (SDL_PrivateShouldInitSubsystem(SDL_INIT_VIDEO)) {
            if (SDL_VideoInit(NULL) < 0) {             <- this here is causing the segfault
                return (-1);
            }
        }

I don't know what to even do with this. None of the SDL versions work anymore. I've tried installing older ones, compiling from source.
