Probably, dev-libs/hiredis should be added into DEPEND. I do not attach all logs, just last lines of "emerge" output, I sure you will see the point of issue: ... checking magic.h usability... yes checking magic.h presence... yes checking for magic.h... yes checking for magic_open in -lmagic... yes checking hiredis/hiredis.h usability... no checking hiredis/hiredis.h presence... no checking for hiredis/hiredis.h... no ERROR! libhiredis library not found, go get it from https://github.com/redis/hiredis or your distribution: Ubuntu: apt-get install libhiredis-dev Fedora: yum install libhiredis-devel !!!

I just highlight from first messate. I have '--disable-hiredis' (don't use USE 'redis') but looks like suricata 3.1 need dev-libs/hiredis anyway.
The way the option is handled by upstream is at best non-standard and at worst broken. The presence of either --enable-hiredis or --disable-hiredis on configure causes it to check for the library and fail if it isn't present. The quickest work-around would be to throw a conditional around the use_enable so it's only added to the configure command if it's in USE.
See upstream issue: https://redmine.openinfosecfoundation.org/issues/1835
Should be fixes now. Let me know if it's working for you.
I can confirm, this issue was fixed.
