I think that is in the mingw-gcc package.  Version 5.2 is built for
f24 here,

You could download and compile the src.rpm on your system, as the
binary probably has dependencies that won't allow it to install on your
earlier fedora system.

Your best bet for getting it officially for an earlier fedora version is
to open a bugzilla against the package mingw-gcc, asking (nicely?) for
an update.
