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.

Hello Efraim,
It seems that commit a5d4c96b8d90b8bb87e07bd6a7be78991db91bc9 left
libfreeimage with some undefined references. For instance, the
‘configure’ script of ‘guile-sly’ fails like this:

Interestingly guile-sly on aarch64 doesn't find freeimage at all. In any
case, the same issue happens with emulation-station, and from this
not-related-at-all bug
https://github.com/openframeworks/openFrameworks/issues/4993 it looks
like they're all related to libjxr. `guix gc --references $(guix build
--no-grafts freeimage)' doesn't list libjxr, and adding it as a
propagated input doesn't magically fix it. libjxr seems to be abandoned
upstream. The easiest option might be to use the bundled libjxr but I'm
still looking at it.

Yes, same on other platforms. The snippet above are the details that
guile-sly’s ‘config.log’ provides.
Thanks for looking into it!
