I compiled it (as a regular user, not root) and it seemed to work
unchanged.

I got the source from
http://web.archive.org/web/20050119065043/http://trific.ath.cx:80/Ftp/gimp/voronoi/voronoi-2.2.tar.bz2
and unpacked it with
    tar jxvf voronoi-2.2.tar.bz2

I made one change to the Makefile -- on my system the command
    uname -m
says
    x86_64
but the gcc compiler expects
    x86-64
so I changed the line in Makefile that said
    -march=`uname -m`
to say
    -march=`uname -m | sed s/_/-/`

(be careful to keep the right quotes in there).

Then I typed
    make
to compile the plugin, and then I installed the plugin with
    gimptool-2.0 --install-bin voronoi
