Are you saying I have to build a mingw-w64 toolchain for a particular

Or are you saying that once MSYS2 is installed and updated, various
gcc version toolchains for Windows already exist for my use ?
The toolchain downloaded with pacman from the MSYS2 is including all the
binaries you need to get the same toolchain you got from MINGW-64 (and
much more).
No compilation needed, but if you have sources for additional
stuff/libraries you can compile them using the MSYS2 environment in a
"unix-like" way (configure, make, make install).
If you are just looking for a "newer version" of the MIGW-64 toolchain,
MSYS2 has everything you need "out of the box".
OK, thanks ! I can see that the MingW-W64-builds on the mingw-w64
Downloads page is probably at an end and I must choose another way to
get the latest gcc on Windows distributions, so I will try MSYS2. I
always thought that mingw-w64-install.exe and the MingW-W64-builds were
just so convenient, so I am sorry they will not continue being so. It
was probably too much work for the developer(s) who supported that
methodology.
Just try!
