The bundled libraries in freeimage are several years old, leading to
build errors of packages that depend on freeimage, such as ogre¹, on
architectures with neon. Debian has an extensive patch collection to use
system libraries which should fix this issue on armhf and aarch64 but I
haven't tried it yet.
