Write a wrapper "gcc.exe" which calls "arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc.exe" 
and place the wrapper in bin\, and try to use KW.

Be aware that "gcc.exe" is traditionally the name of the native 
compiler e.g. a compiler that compiles for Windows.

For example if you install Sourcery G++ for IA32 Windows, it will 
install a "gcc.exe" into bin\, because that toolchain builds Windows 
applications.

Cheers,
Carlos.
