The original poster can build for mingw-w64 most any released version of 
gcc, including currently the gcc 9 branch and gcc-9.1 and gcc-9.2, using 
the scripts provided in the 'develop' branch at 
https://github.com/niXman/mingw-builds/tree/develop under MSYS2 on 
Windows. I have done so for mingw-w64/gcc-9.1 and mingw-w64/gcc-9.2, 
among others, successfully. I do not know who niXman is, but he is 
supportive.
