I just checked the g++FAQ and looks like I am correct:

What is the latest version of gcc, g++, and libg++?
===================================================
The newest release from the egcs project (on the Web:
`http://www.cygnus.com/egcs/') is egcs-1.0.3, released May 15, 1998.
The current version of gcc/g++ is 2.8.1, released March 4, 1998.
This release fixes some bugs in the 2.8.x release from January. It is
a huge improvement over the 2.7.x releases.
libg++ has now been deprecated (that is, it is no longer really
supported), so gcc2.8.1 users need to grab libstdc++-2.8.1 from their
favorite GNU site (egcs users don't need to get this separately as it
is bundled with egcs). However, there is an 'add-on' libg++ 2.8.1
mini-release. If you want to use it, you need to combine it with
libstdc++ 2.8.1.
I would strongly recommend that anyone using a g++ version earlier
than 2.7.2 should upgrade if at all possible (*note version 2.7.x::.).
Folks who need modern C++ features should upgrade to 2.8.1 or egcs.
For some non-Unix platforms, the latest port of gcc may be an earlier
version (2.7.2, say). You'll need to use a version of libg++ that has
the same first two digits as the compiler version, e.g. use libg++
2.7.x (for the latest x you can find) with gcc version 2.7.2.1.
From version 2.8.0 on, you don't need libg++, you only need libstdc++
(again, the latest version with the same two leading digits as the
version of g++ you use).
