A note: are you actually planning on working with master? Even though 
for the last few years, master was absolutely production-usable, this is 
not the case with new master with GTK+3.

A lot of stuff is broken on the GTK+3 port. As I write this, I am 
working on the icon themes for instance which are completely broken.
This is not production-ready. If you want a moving target while still 
stay usable, build "gimp-2-10" branch (which is old master). I predict 
it will still stay quite active, much more than what the "gimp-2-8" 
branch used to be since we will continue to backport features when 
possible/not too hard.
