Umm, wouldn't the mingwlibs-for-mingw do.

If your just talking about STL in the strict sense, you shouldn't need
libstdc++.a. The templated STL lives in the headers. That's the virtue of
templated classes. Char specializations for [Non-]Standard iostreams and
string classes live in libstdc++.a but they are not templated pre-3.0
