Hmm, I do have DATADIR defined there, too, but gimpenv.c only includes
windows.h, which does not include objidl.h (even indirectly). At least
not my version.

Anyway, as DATADIR isn't used in gimpenv.c on Win32 (we don't want any
compile-time hardcoded paths, and determine the datadir at run-time
instead), the simplest fix would be to #undef DATADIR before the
#include <windows.h>.
