I've built a few versions of v8 on the raspberry pi with no major trouble. There has always been small hiccups, but the last time the bugs I were filed and fixed. For example:
https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/8549 It could just be a matter of building incorrectly. What is the illegal instruction? That will be a good starting point, and then work back through all of the defines to make sure you have all of the features / defines set correctly.
