Actually, thee is more to building Orca now. You actually have to
build the latest AT-SPI from source as well. There are instructions
for this here somewhere on the list (I lost the e-mail from my Orca
folder here in Thunderbird).
The Orca Wiki is under a revamp right now, so the instructions for
building Orca from source may be dated. I am going to try to go
through and find the various e-mails I have received about compiling
Orca and the latest AT-SPI2 from source and give it a try. If it
works out for me I will try to write out a step-by-step guide on
doing this, if it would be of any help. I'm not sure when I can get
to all of this, though, but if it would be of any help I will give
it a try.
Please keep in mind, though, that I am running Ubuntu 11.10, and I
won't be able to give instructions for other distros as I am quite
unfamiliar with how it would work on other distros.
As far as benefits go, however, there are a lot of bug fixes in Orca
Master.

Have I any benefits if I install the new Orca.
I don't know.
at the moment I use Orca 3.2.0 and Brltty 4.2.
What happen to brltty if I update to Orca 3.3.90?
Nothing, IMHO the API is the same so you just have to update Orca, not BRLTTY.
Are this the right comandos for building Orca for Ubuntu 11.10?
sudo apt-get build-dep gnome-orca
sudo apt-get install git-core gnome-common automake1.9 python-json
Try:
sudo apt-get build-dep gnome-orca
Then download the latest Source from the Orca web site, extract it with
tar xf <filename>
cd <new directory>
and there:
./configure
make
sudo make install
Hint: If you want to test first, you can do instead:
./configure --prefix=/opt/orca
make
sudo make install
This will install orca to /opt/orca, if you want to test it, you run it by
/opt/orca/bin/orca --replace
And if you're fine with that you can use the first option to overwrite your
current Orca version.
Greetings
Sebastian
