FWIW, the command that fails during the doc build works if I remove the '-config ""' option:

# ../asy -dir ../base -f pdf -render=0 -noprc penfunctionimage.asy

It seems you are building asymptote with USE=-boehm-gc. Without garbage collection, some examples in the documentation require really *huge* memory to run.
I recommend to emerge it with +boehm-gc (this flag is on by default in the ebuild).

Thank you, works well.

Perhaps boehm-gc should be a required dep, esp. if the "doc" USE flag is set.
