Gentoopc,
Please post the output of and put the output of | Code: | | emerge --update @world |
onto a pastebin.

Gentoopc,
First, you are going to get confused.
| Code: | | !!! Found 2 make.conf files, using both '/etc/make.conf' and '/etc/portage/make.conf' |
Merge them both into /etc/portage/make.conf. /etc/make.conf has been depreciated for a number of years.
| Code: | | Invalid news item: /usr/portage/metadata/news/... |
suggests that you have an old portage that does not understand News-Item-Format: 2.0.
You need to update portage.
Your profile default/linux/arm/13.0/armv7a is for a 32 bit install but your kernel 3.10.102+ aarch64 is 64 bit.
You can do that but your profile will not protect you against yourself. I suppose a 32 bit userland on top of a 64 bit kernel works.
What hardware do you have and what do you want to do with it?

Allwinner A64 SoC;
Processor 64-bit 4-core ARM Cortex-A53 with a clock speed of 1.2 GHz;
1/2 GB DDR3 SDRAM;
Graphic processor Mali-400MP2;
Wi-Fi 802.11n and Bluetooth 4.2;
Gigabit Ethernet.
I want to examine the arm
get away from x86 altogether
orange pi
just to start
What do I need to do now to install programs using emerge? |

Gentoopc,
Its a 64 bit system but needs kernel modules that are distributed as binary only.
Hence your old kernel 3.10.102+. The binary blobs may not be available for a newer kernel.
The Graphic processor Mali-400MP2 is a part of the problem. There is progress being made on an open source driver but I don't follow it closely.
1/2 GB DDR3 SDRAM will be a challenge. Some C++ code can want 1G, still you can use swap but it will be slow.
That may be why you have a 32 bit userland.
With that old kernel you will be restricted on what you can run without getting kernel too old errors.
Leave the kernel for now. Accept that's its old and may cause problems. Once you have made progress sorting out your install, you can look into open source drivers for your GPU and a newer kernel.
Step 1 is to post the output from that command if it fails.
