This has been fixed in Arch by updating the bundled libjpeg headers (specifically transupp.{h,c}) as described in the following:
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18302?project=1&string=libjpeg

Fixed locally by using the following steps:
1. ebuild /usr/portage/media-gfx/fbida/fbida-2.07-r1.ebuild unpack
2. replace transupp.{h,c} in /var/tmp/portage/media-gfx/fbida-2.07-r1/work/fbida-2.07/jpeg with those from libjpeg8
3. ebuild /usr/portage/media-gfx/fbida/fbida-2.07-r1.ebuild merge

Michal, I've simply updated the ebuild to copy headers over from jpeg-8a instead of jpeg-7 like -r1 did.
