You can download the previous releases from the http://gimp-win.source.forge.net Releases page.

There is documentation about how to build it, easily found by doing a straight-forward google query like "gimp build windows". 

The hard part is getting a build environment together *and* to be able to maintain it (this is out of the scope of most, if not even all tutorials about this). The build itself is the default configure && make // make install.

BTW, I'm usually unable to reproduce the more weird problems, both with the installer versions and my own builds.
