Is there a reason you have orca built from trunk in your system?  You 
may want to consider the versions available in portage at present:

~ $ eix -l app-accessibility/orca
* app-accessibility/orca
     Available versions:  
            47.5	[+braille PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_12 
python3_13 python3_14"]	["^^ ( python_single_target_python3_12 
python_single_target_python3_13 python_single_target_python3_14 )"]
       ~    49.5      ^t	[+braille test 
PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_12 python3_13 python3_14"]	["^^ ( 
python_single_target_python3_12 python_single_target_python3_13 
python_single_target_python3_14 )"]
       ~    49.7      ^t	[+braille test 
PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_12 python3_13 python3_14"]	["^^ (
