Anytime I've ever heard of the "Illegal instruction" error, it's always been a problem with the binary not being compatible with the processor, not with the OS. The sage binary is compiled on a certain processor that expects certain capabilities, and if you run it on a processor without those capabilities, you get the illegal instruction warnings. The fix is to compile sage on your machine. Just download the source, untar, change into that directory, and type "make". It'll take a few hours, but then you'll have a binary compiled for your processor.
