asciidoc is enabled as a dependency when USE=doc is enabled, but it appears that the package has a hard dependency on asciidoc from the failure log. It also appears to be missing dependencies on sys-process/audit and sys-libs/libunwind.

Please provide the log. I have no issue emerge'ing perf-3.8 with "USE=-doc" > It also appears to be missing dependencies on sys-process/audit and > sys-libs/libunwind. I'm writing a fix for this problem. Thank you for the catch.
i've fixed the automagic depends w/audit & libunwind (among other things): http://sources.gentoo.org/dev-util/perf/perf-3.8-r1.ebuild?rev=1.1 but i don't see any problems w/asciidoc, so you'll need to add more details.
