The current catalogue works for me. I now have gcc 4.8.1-4 and mingw-get 
0.6.2-beta-20131004-1, and I can compile C and C++. You might want to 
update your catalogue. You can do so in the GUI (Installation => Update 
Catalogue) or at the command line (mingw-get update).

Do not copy dlls there! I would undo that and delete the extra copies of 
those dlls. (When mingw-get upgrades my dlls, I would rather not keep 
any stale copies.) In my computer, the only dll in 
C:\MinGW\libexec\gcc\mingw32\4.8.1 is liblto_plugin-0.dll (and 
liblto_plugin.dll.a).

To use your dlls, you need to set your PATH. In cmd.exe, you can enter a 
command like

C:\>path %PATH%;C:\MinGW\bin

For a more permanent way to set PATH, look at
