Any idea how to find the cause of this? Should we try restricting armel builds to 2 threads? Or 1? Currently they seem to use four.

No, it seems the logs are not kept if it never finishes and is aborted manually (or whatever happens):
https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=sagemath&arch=armel

Oh, and sagemath is not the only package getting stuck on armel. Right now guile-2.0 and guile-2.2 are building for 77 and 53 days and I have seen this happen for other packages on https://buildd.debian.org/status/architecture.php?a=armel&suite=sid
