Gentoo allows to run a command ("emerge -epv gimp") that shows *all* the 
dependencies for a package as installed, all the way down to the 
toolchain for building.

It turns out that 268 packages are required to install GIMP 2.8.14 on my 
rather minimal Gentoo installation, and no additional packages are 
required to install babl/GEGL/GIMP from git in a prefix.

In case it might be helpful, I put up a spreadsheet listing the 268 
packages:
