From that trace you need an asciidoc installed to build the asciidoc rpm
because its building its own docs without using the binary it just
generated

Go spank your vendors asciidoc packager :)

And I suspect after that remaking the rpm will work.

Its in Fedora ("yum install git") and its an EPEL built package for RHEL

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL

but EPEL currently doesn't build S/390 packages as part of its standard
build, I guess because S/390 isn't the most common box on the planet ;)
