Should note that this is freeimage 3.15.1

I'm seeing the same issue as well :(.

A kludgy work-around until this patch issue is solved...Do a manual build/symlink as follows:

1. Unlink freeimage 3.13.1 (or whatever you have installed) with "brew unlink freeimage"
2. move the /usr/local/Cellar/freeimage/3.13.1 someplace safe as a backup in case you have problems
3. copy the source tar.gz file from the cache (~/Library/Caches/Homebrew) to a directory where you can do a manual build
4. manually edit the makefile. Set the prefix = /usr/local/Cellar/freeimage/3.15.1 and make sure the compiler matches what you have
5. run make and it should compile w/o errors. then do make install. Even though I changed the permissions on /usr/local, I needed to do sudo make install ...
6. symlink the library with brew link freeimage.
7. Test. If you have any problems, you can just unlink, get rid of the 3.15.1 folder in /usr/local/Cellar and copy the 3.13.1 folder back in and brew link freeimage again...

I know it is a kludge, but it worked for me... YMMV...

I have the same issue too on Lion 10.7.2
