Well I'm not sure it is valid to call it "faulty" since you've obviously managed to build something with it, but it doesn't sound as if you at all use the build system GIMP is meant to be build with, namely autotools (Automake, Autoconf etc). AFAIK if you are going to build GIMP on Windows you should use mingw+msys with autotools and friends. Doing it is a terrible experience though and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. (The more or less official Windows build of GIMP isn't even built on Windows but cross compiled on Linux.)
