A simpler approach should simple be to do:

 PATH d:\ARM-GCC;%PATH%

GCC will automatically deduce all of the other paths from that.

I believe this is related to the problem you are having above.    When I 
invoke the compiler, I see a full path to all of the "crt" files.

It could also be that the unpacking procedure did not go correctly for 
you.  What program did you use to unpack the .tar.gz file?  It may be 
that some programs do not work correctly; if so, we would definitely 
like to update our web pages to reflect that.

We do plan to provide a Windows installer with the next release that 
will make it easier to install and use GCC.
