Hi!

Looks like hostapd lacks ocv support:

# /etc/init.d/hostapd start
hostapd               | * Caching service dependencies ...                                                                                               [ ok ]
hostapd               | * Starting hostapd ...
hostapd               |Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
hostapd               |Line 1651: unknown configuration item 'ocv'
hostapd               |1 errors found in configuration file '/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf'
hostapd               |Failed to set up interface with /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
hostapd               |Failed to initialize interface
hostapd               | * start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/usr/sbin/hostapd'
hostapd               | * Failed to start hostapd                                

Though ocv option with its description is present in the hostapd.conf.

As can be seen from package's defconfig, ocv is present, but disabled by default:
# Support Operating Channel Validation
#CONFIG_OCV=y

I suggest to add OCV support to the ebuild using the ocv USE flag.

Just for the record:

net-wireless/hostapd-2.9-r3::gentoo was built with the following:
USE="crda ipv6 netlink sqlite suiteb wps -internal-tls -libressl -logwatch -savedconfig"
