I'm not seeing that, sorry.  With either -std=c++11, or -std=gnu++11,
added, that command remains completely silent.  With -std=c++03, or
-std=gnu++03, however, I do see a small number of errors, (much fewer
than your pastebin shows), all originating in GCC C++ heades, (not in
the MinGW headers), and all due to gratuitous references to functions
which are undeclared, by the MinGW headers, unless the _ISOC99_SOURCE
feature test has been enabled; (<_mingw.h> will enable it for any of
__STDC__ >= 199901L, __cplusplus >= 201103L, or _POSIX_C_SOURCE >=
200112L; I'm not sure if it should be enabled for any earlier C++ version).

Web security technologies have advanced, significantly, since Microsoft
pulled the plug on WinXP; it is becoming increasingly difficult to
continue supporting web access from WinXP, but the latest version of
mingw-get, (the version available from OSDN.net), does still manage to
do so.  However...

...this tells me that you are still using the obsolete, unmaintained
version from SF.net, which will not work; you need to reinstall
mingw-get, using the mingw-get-setup.exe tool from OSDN.net
