The build on armhf hung itself:

You could file an upstream bug report, but I doubt it will be picked
up for debugging by the Julia maintainers since we do not build with
the shipped LLVM 3.3.

Julia master recently switched to LLVM 3.7 (albeit with custom
patches, which will hopefully no longer be needed with LLVM 3.8),
so things should improve once Julia 0.5 is released.
