I'm like you, and the first thing I tried was building with asciidoc
8.4.5, which bombed out with an error. Replacing it with 8.6.8 fixed
it, so in this case, LinuxCNC does appear to need whatever feature that
is that's missing.
I considered going in to see whether the docs could be fixed, since that
could possibly be easier than creating the previously-mentioned
asciidoc86 package, but decided that won't a priority unless we do
finally have something suitable for putting through the fedora packaging
process. (I actually learned something recently when someone linked to
the definition of YAGNI, or I'd probably be working on it right now. ;)
