            The very latest version/release of libstdc++ is available from the mingw project files page as part of the binary archive distribution gcc-2.95.3-20010828.tar.gz:

                        Mingw Files

                                    The latest stable version (binaries) is at gcc-2.95.3-20010828.tar.gz

                                    The source code is there as well.

            gcc-2.95.2 for Mingw has been deprecated.  Mumits' site is mostly maintained for legacy purposes anymore and no longer is being used by the Mingw development community  (see the Mingw Home Page ) except as a legacy resource.  If Mumit is watching, I am sure he will clarify if he needs to.
