My impression is that the only way to build software for Android is
via *cross compiling*. It would be extremely difficult to
cross-compile Sage (at least requiring rewriting key parts of build
systems, etc.). With a Linux chroot running on Android, you get the
full compiler suite and no cross compiling is needed, so it is much
more viable. So far this seems to have only been done once -- by Carl
Witty -- back when the Google Nexus One phone came out (the first
Android phone). I got pretty far recently, but then my tablet
completely totally crashed, and I lost everything on it. I intend to
try again, once I can get a fully working chroot Linux with enough
space installed on it, which is surprisingly tricky.
Here is a recent post (today) of a developper discussing porting some
things on android, and giving links to various tools to that end and
similar efforts :

That might be of interest.
